Debra Magid

I am currently available Monday, Thursday and Friday 8am to 6pm, remote working.

I understand that finding a way to start this journey can sometimes be difficult, and it may be a challenge to take this first step but here you are! Are you feeling overwhelmed, unsure who you are any more, stressed out, have you lost your confidence, feel like you put everyone else first, find it hard to cope with everyday life?

Have you experienced loss, trauma, bereavement?

I can help.

I offer support and empathy in a warm, caring environment. Working together, we will explore how feelings and experiences shape your thoughts and actions. You will gain a better understanding of what makes you, you. Finding ways to reach your own solutions and enabling you to live a more resourceful life. Alternatively, I could simply be that non judgmental, confidential ear that you just don't have elsewhere.

I am person centred trained, but like to think of myself as an integrative therapist, as I am always led by the individual needs of my clients. I provide short and long term counselling. I have been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to work in both the private and voluntary sectors working within established, nationally and regionally recognised counselling services with both adults and children. I acknowledge and appreciate the differences in each individual and welcome people from all walks of life.

I have can help in numerous areas, including:

• anxiety

• depression

• stress

• bereavement

• relationship issues

• self-harm

• abuse

• trauma

• gender/ identity

I believe that each individual has the capacity and desire for personal growth and change. My philosophy is one of respecting each individual and their ability to become more self- aware and reach their own true potential in all aspects of their life. I respect the ability of every person to live their own life, work through their own problems, make their own choices and ultimately move forward and make the most of their life.  

I am always led by the individual needs of my clients and by offering them a safe, confidential and non-judgemental environment we can explore whatever may be going on. I help my clients to find the answer to or acceptance of their individual experience, I work to understand my clients from their point of view, positively valuing them whilst aiming to be open, genuine and at times challenging. I help my clients to reconnect with their core values and sense of self-worth which can lead to greater clarity, a feeling of empowerment and ultimately a happier way of being.

I invite you to contact me to arrange a free 30 minute telephone or zoom consultation, where you can find out more about the way I work, as well as having any questions answered.
