My name is Debbie O'Connor and I am an experienced psychotherapist and counsellor. I am passionate about helping you to grow, overcome the pain in your life and to flourish. I specialize in the treatment of trauma, relationship difficulties, difficulties with food and eating, and depression and anxiety.
I believe, as human beings we have the capacity for an almost infinite range of feelings, thoughts and reactions to our experiences. We have the potential to be deeply hurt by the things that occur in our lives, but we also have an equal capacity for compassion, resilience, healing, growth and the ability to create new neural pathways in our brain that can heal our emotions, thoughts, feelings and help us change unhelpful behaviours.

Services
Anger - either difficulty controlling anger or the inability to feel anger when it is justified, such as when we need to stand firm defending your rights or your integrity. If you are struggling from any of these difficulties, please feel free to contact me for a chat or to arrange a counselling session.
The style of counselling and therapy helpful to you will depend on the nature and duration of the. I provide a safe and confidential place for you to work through the issues that are troubling you, and help you to find inner peace, perhaps for the first time. I specialise in the treatment of trauma and eating disorders, and have extensive experience in working with parents, childhood issues and relationship difficulties.
