The DeeSigns Foundation is a charity set up for the Deaf Community offering remote free/low* cost counselling, one to one without the need for an interpreter (the 'third person in the room').

We currently have spaces available - contact us via email or text to enquire about having a free assessment.

*depending on financial status

About me and my therapy practice

At the DeeSigns Foundation, our mission is to improve the mental health and well-being of the Deaf community.  We feel that the situation of there being a 'third person in the room' can add to anxiety, so having to be in that situation is, in our opinion, inappropriate - it's hard enough starting counselling on a one to one basis, but with another person present, who you quite possibly know from within a different setting, is potentially causing more harm.  

We believe that everyone deserves access to quality one to one mental health care, regardless of their ability to pay, that's why we offer our services at low to no cost, so that everyone who needs our help can receive it.

Our goal is to create a world where Deaf individuals can live happy, healthy, and fulfilling lives by creating equal access to vital services.

Practice description

All out Counsellors/Therapists are fully qualified. At DeeSigns, we offer a safe place for you to talk and be listened to, without judgement or criticism. Therapy can help you gain a better understanding of your feelings and thoughts, finding your own solutions. Whether you require one to one or couples sessions, whatever you needs are, we will certainly be able to match them.

My first session

We offer a free, no obligation assessment to everyone.

At this stage we will assess your financial situation as to whether you qualify for free counselling eg. if you are on benefits of a low income.  Should you be in a position where you can afford sessions, these are offered at a reduced rate.

Please contact us by email or text for more information.
