WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
"My husband and I have been attending couples counselling with Debra for over 14 months, and the experience has been transformative for our relationship. Debra’s approach, grounded in the Gottman Theory, has provided us with practical tools to navigate challenges, improve communication, and rebuild trust.
​
Debra’s professionalism is unparalleled. From the moment we stepped into her office, she created a safe, non-judgmental space where both of us felt heard and respected. Her ability to break down complex concepts, such as the "Communication Skills" and the importance of building a "Love Map," helped us understand not only our conflicts but also how to nurture our connection moving forward.
​
Over time, we’ve seen incredible growth in our relationship. Debra’s tailored exercises and her emphasis on small, intentional changes have fostered deeper intimacy and understanding. She truly listens and adapts her strategies to suit our unique needs, which has made all the difference.
​
We can’t thank Debra enough for the positive impact she’s had on our relationship. Her guidance has not only improved our dynamic as a couple but also strengthened us as individuals. If you’re looking for a compassionate and highly skilled counsellor to help transform your relationship, I can’t recommend her enough!"
