Testimonials

Debi is a very talented Art Psychotherapist. Sunnyside Rural Trust (SRT) were lucky enough to work with her for 6 months. SRT support young people and adults with learning differences and those with neurodivergence, often experiencing trauma and significant challenges. Debi was incredibly professional, kind and person centred in her support; she adapted her sessions to meet the needs of the individual. The whole team found her skilled, personable and effective. We saw real change in people and the people she worked directly with felt seen and heard and took away a lifetime toolkit to take their healing forward.
I would highly recommend Debi as an Art psychotherapist and we wish her well in her future work.

Debi and her art therapy process and work has been such a compliment to the MDT, her feedback and insights from her
sessions have been invaluable, and the patients themselves have reported that the sessions have been beneficial in
allowing them to express difficult emotions in the safe space provided.

I would recommend Debi to anyone looking to explore therapy and examine why they behave in certain ways. She creates a warm, trusting space and the insights she reflected back to me and the areas we explored have been life-changing in my understanding of my patterns and ability to accept myself as I am. I felt resistance to the art aspect, however I also wanted to try it. Debi was so gentle guiding me to what felt right and I actually found this to be an immensely enjoyable, freeing and invaluable element of my journey. Using art in the sessions has also opened the door to my own creativity and expression which I felt had been locked away. Debi is clearly passionate about helping people and giving them a space to feel safe, and this comes across in all elements of her work. I'm very grateful to have found her when I did.

Thank you so much for your wonderful contribution to our training day – you did a fantastic job with preparing, delivery and holding and everyone agreed that it had been an excellent time together.

I was very stuck by the powerfulness of the exercise and personally found it very therapeutic.

In my first day's of alcohol recovery, Debi encouraged me to think about my frame of mind as a colour. The idea allowed me to easily access the feeling of peace that abstinence had given me, which was incredibly helpful in resisting the temptation to drink in the first few weeks.
