A first step towards change
I am here to help you find your way with empathy, understanding and an individual approach tailored to your personal needs. Find out more about me and my work as a psychotherapist.
Pluralistic psychotherapy & Hypnotherapy
I’m Debbie Cannon, a pluralistic student counsellor and qualified hypnotherapist.
As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I offer clients and those exploring identity, a judgement free safe space.
I am currently completing my Professional Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling Skills with Chrysalis, following earlier training in hypnotherapy, counselling skills, and Level 4 counselling theory.
My approach integrates CBT, humanistic, and psychodynamic modalities, allowing therapy to be tailored to each person’s needs.
My work is trauma‑informed and shaped by my experience as an Independent Domestic Violence Advocate (IDVA), supporting people through complex trauma, relationship dynamics, and safety‑related concerns. I aim to offer a steady, respectful, and collaborative therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences at your own pace.
Whether you’re seeking counselling, hypnotherapy, or a safe place to reflect, my practice is grounded in inclusive, ethical, and person‑centred care.
I am fully insured, hold an enhanced DBS, and am a registered member of both the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society and the National Hypnotherapy Society.
My philosophy
Individuality
I work with each person as an individual, adapting my approach to your needs, pace, and lived experience.
Responsibility
I take my role seriously and offer a reliable, ethical, and trauma‑informed therapeutic space.
Appreciation
I meet people without judgement, recognising the realities they bring and the strengths they already hold.
Competence
My practice is informed by professional training and my experience supporting people through complex situations as an IDVA.
Structure
Sessions are clear and consistent, with shared goals and regular check‑ins so you always know where we are in the work.
Transparency
I communicate openly about the therapeutic process, including what we’re exploring and why, so you remain informed and in control.
Let's work together on your future.
If you are ready to take the first step in a new direction, get in touch with me.
I will support you in gaining more clarity about yourself, understanding your feelings and needs better and developing new paths for your life situation.
