Debbie McKee:
Integrative Counsellor & Therapist (BACP)
Welcome my name is Debbie McKee and I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor and therapist working with adults. I am currently offering online and face-to-face sessions to clients. I am a full member of the British Association of Counselling Psychotherapy (BACP) and abide by their ethical framework.
As an integrative therapist, I have received training in different types of modalities meaning I can draw upon these to find the best-suited therapy interventions for each individual client.
I work in a person-centred way where values such as empathy, non-judgemental and authenticity are at the forefront. Since I am integrative I draw on a range of approaches such as person-centred therapy, CBT, Transaction Analysis (TA), Gestalt, and Psychodynamic.
Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, leaving you feeling stuck, isolated or uncertain about how to proceed, whether you are struggling with anxiety or low self-esteem. dealing with relationship problems, or looking for support during a major life change, you don’t have to go through it alone.
I like to offer my clients a warm, non-judgemental, safe space to explore and unpack anything that they may feel is impacting their mental well-being. By bringing more awareness to your thoughts and feelings, new perspectives can emerge and new options can become available.
Seeking therapy can feel daunting sometimes but I aim to create an atmosphere of empathy, trust, and acceptance where we work collaboratively to best support you and your needs. I work with clients who are suffering from a range of issues including anxiety, depression, OCD, stress, identity issues, ADHD, relationship problems, loneliness, low self-esteem, trauma, addiction, bereavement, grief and loss, work-related stress, burnout, and cultural issues.
Often to understand what is happening in the present we need to go back to the past. Early experiences can have an impact on adulthood and childhood is often the place where we learn behaviours and develop a sense of self. Therapy provides a safe space to explore and unravel these long-standing behaviours and beliefs.
I welcome difference and diversity in my practice and work with adults of all ages and from all backgrounds.
