PLEASE NOTE : I AM NOT A SERVICE PROVIDER FOR THE MEDICARE BENEFITS SCHEME, otherwise known as the Mental Health Care Plan.
I am a member of the LGBTIQA+ community and welcome working with people from the community for any issue, but particularly with suicidality and gender dysphoria. I also very much welcome working with non-LGBTIQA+ men and women for any of the difficulties listed on my Specialities page and other issues beyond that list.
I work with people’s understanding of their mental states and knowledge of their body, utilising somatic principles in conjunction with the specialist modalities listed above.
The areas I specialise in are as follows: attachment disorders, complex trauma histories, those diagnosed with personality disorders, specialising in Borderline Personality Disorder. More recently I have been working with a lot of clients who have ADHD and ASD. I offer ASD assessments and hope to offer ADHD assessment screeners soon. I have had some success with those diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder and BiPolar Affective Disorder.
I am open to working with adults from the age of 16 through to the end of life.

Debbie Debonaire
Counsellor/Therapist, BA Hons, IMTTA, Heartmath Coach
I am Debbie Debonaire, a holistic counsellor, human developer, meditation teacher, Mindfulness Teacher, Heartmath Coach, breath worker, author, and public speaker. An authority on women's empowerment and potential, specialising in overcoming stress, anxiety, and depression, mainly caused by past traumas and mental and physical domestic abuse. I guide women to take back control and live on their own terms. As a conqueror of clinical depression and failure of 3 attempts at suicide attempts, I worked intensely on my empowerment and potential to become a holistic counsellor. As an empath, generous guide, and influencer, I can now champion change in other women's (and men's) lives so they can realise their empowerment to reach their true potential.
