Debbie Banks
Counsellor in London

I specialise in helping individuals who have experienced difficult situations such as grief and loss, issues with self-esteem, relationship challenges, as well as anxiety and depression. I have considerable experience working with young people facing personal challenges and families navigating complex dynamics including working with expats, helping them to feel supported as they navigate the issues of identity, belonging and transition. I look forward to supporting you in your journey to find the inner resources to create a calm, peaceful and stable life.

Having completed formal training in the UK and Australia, I bring a wealth of experience. I hold a Masters degree in Clinical Counselling as well as post-graduate qualifications in Trauma Counselling and the Hakomi Foundation. I am currently studying for a postgraduate qualification in Clinical Supervision.

It is an act of courage to recognise where we are and to take the first steps towards a new way of being. My sessions are personalised to help improve wellbeing and psychological help, in a space that is safe, non-judgemental and compassionate.

Approach to Counselling & How I Work

Sometimes the hardest step is the first step. By attending therapy, you are giving yourself the opportunity to navigate the challenges and complexities of life. Many people have to manage tough experiences they need to heal from. In the first session, you and I will talk to determine whether we could work well together. We will discuss your reasons for exploring counselling and how I can help.
