Deborah Potts Counselling

Deborah is an incredibly warm person. She put me at ease straight away, as I was feeling very nervous on our first meeting. I really needed to focus on the future. I felt lost. I needed motivation to move on. I had bad anxiety. I did not know how to overcome this. Deborah taught me breathing techniques that has helped me to overcome anxiety and become a more relaxed person. The breathing techniques took time to get right but it worked. I needed motivation, I was stuck in a rut. She made me see what I needed to do to further myself. I am now participating in yoga, which was something that had come up in our meetings but I hadn't thought about going back to it. Together with yoga and the breathing techniques shown to me by Deborah I am finally feeling like myself again.

I was recommended to Debs through an Armed Forces link to the charity PTSD Resolution and I cannot talk highly enough about the therapy that Debs was able to give me. She used the Human Givens Rewind therapy to address some very deep rooted issues that were causing me anger issues that affected my marriage. I had many strains on me personally and the therapy turned things around for me very quickly.Debs was able to give me some very real coping techniques which I still use to good effect.I really recommend that if you are struggling then get in touch with her. Debs has a warm, sincere and positive approach which makes you feel you really can be helped and she did help me.What she does WORKS 100%!!!Thanks Debs for all your support and help. You are marvellous.

Debs is amazing at what she does , my Grandson had lots of issues due to a very troubled start in life , he flatly refused to engage with therapies at school , hospital etc , I was really concerned how I could help him , then I met Debs and what can I say except Wow what a remarkable , professional woman she is .Debs really built a rapport with him , he loves going , he’s at ease with her , and it’s made such a difference to him , he really is a different boy now , happy , confident and much nicer to live with !So thank you so much Debs you have made our lives so much happier , he is just being a regular kid now which is what I always dreamed of !!

As a full-time carer for my elderly parents, I had reached a point where I could not cope with my situation anymore. Thankfully, Deb was recommended to me.I went to see her, and straight away she put me at ease. Deb used guided imagery, an incredibly powerful technique to make me feel calm and relaxed. She taught me effective strategies to manage my stress and anxieties.The result was that my sleep improved and I began to feel so much better and able to cope with my situation. I am grateful to Deb for all her help and endless support through such a difficult time.

This lady has introduced counselling to my 12 year old son and what an amazing experience she left him with. He felt so comfortable and at ease and really enjoyed speaking with her. He’s currently in a good place mentally and so has chosen to not continue but I feel he will be back when things get tough again. Not only did Deb make a fantastic impression on my son, she also made sure that I was receiving the right care and support too. To show how incredible Deborah is my two younger daughters whom I believe are on the spectrum and dislike new environments and people came wondering into her home, and were chatting away to Deborah like she was part of the family. Such a lovely experience for us all and I hope to see her again either personally or for my son in the future .

Deborah's methods have helped me through a sustained period of difficulty in my life as well as balance/retain my perspective in the day to day. Her matter of fact and empathetic methods of teaching me different ways to consider my own well-being and dealing with personal trauma has been crucial in my progress. I cannot rate Deborah highly enough.

A huge thank you to Debs for being an amazing listener whilst making me feel at ease, comfortable and generally being just kind. Valuable information and techniques were given to me during my sessions which I will continue to use. I would highly recommend Debs to help you quickly to overcome any problems that are affecting your daily life. Whole heartily thank you again Debs x

After a series of traumatic experiences, and a disappointing experience with the NHS, I visited Deb on a recommendation.Deb's down-to-earth approach encouraged me to immediately feel ease, and her incredible 'rewind' technique has changed my life, converting traumatic memories into just memories, without any associated trauma.I began the process thinking i was incurable but trusted Deb. After 3 sessions, i had never felt so consistently happy, only caring about the important things in life.Thank you, Deb. You changed my life.

I started to see Deborah as I had a very negative and turbulent relationship with my Dad that I could not seem to manage.This was leaving me very lost and upset with my own emotions surrounding the situation.Deborah was very personable, welcoming and made me feel at ease from our very first session over zoom.Over the coming weeks I learnt techniques that I could use before and during a visit with my Dad. I was amazed at the progress I made in a short few weeks, leading to a much more positive experience.My anxiety also diminished during this process and I was left feeling much more positive and looked forward to the time spent with my Parents in general.I would definitely speak to Deborah again should I have a need too in the future.

Professional, comforting & knowledgeable are a few words to describe Deborah. She has helped me overcome & manage many things in just a few visits. She instantly made me feel comfortable & like I could talk to her about anything. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who’s wanting counselling, whatever it may be for.
