Deborah Pennington Counselling

I’m an experienced and qualified Person-Centred Counsellor / Psychotherapist. My practices are located in Shrewsbury in Shropshire & Carlisle in Cumbria. I hold a full and registered membership to the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and work in accordance with their code of ethics, ‘Ethical Framework for the Counselling Professions’ (July 2016).

Sometimes in life we experience turmoil and pain. Difficulties may become overwhelming. Talking with a counsellor can offer support, clarity and emotional / psychological healing and well being.

It may be that you are feeling anxious or stressed and would like to explore these in order to move towards a feeling of emotional well being. Perhaps you might want to talk about difficulties at work, with family, personal relationships or sexual difficulties. It may be that you need support through bereavement. Counselling can support you to find coping methods. It may be that you are experiencing the pain and confusion of trauma and loss, counselling can support you to find the resilience to work through these with courage.

TESTIMONIALS

We came to Deborah during a period of anxiety with my teenage daughter. During this time Deborah helped her understand that her fears and anxiety were real and together they devised strategies on how to approach the issues to deal with them now and in the future.

I really cannot say enough good things about Deborah Pennington Counselling.Deborah has been extremely professional and helpful in steering me through a very difficult period of my life. At a time when I found myself at my lowest ebb, suffering from long term/work related PTSD, anxiety and depression Deborah was there for me. Having experienced a truly difficult time with my previous employer, Deborah was able to help me confront and come to terms with painful memories, thoughts and images. I became more able to explore such thoughts and memories which I had avoided dealing with due to the distressing nature. Deborah provided me with a familiar and friendly contact, before, during and after the pandemic by appointments face to face, online and walking therapy sessions. I highly recommend Deborah for all your counselling needs.

The outside world is a scary place sometimes, new environments and situations as we get older are hard to deal with. Deborah showed me how to talk and work through these situations, giving me self strength. At such a vulnerable time in my life I felt unbelievably comfortable to talk it out and shared thoughts which felt like deep knots that would sit in my stomach. I am now who I'm meant to be and progressing my self-worth and confidence to a level I never thought I could, all thanks to Deborah.

From the very first session, Deborah provided a safe open dialogue which made it comfortable and confident to open up about deep issues. Listening intently as well as exploring ideas, laid the journey to a positive healing process. I am very grateful that my first experience of counselling was with Deborah.

When I had counselling with Deborah I found it very helpful and straight away found myself very comfortable with her which allowed me to open up and confidently talk about my problems. I found that Deborah listened very carefully and took on board my problems with a lot of detail and gave me positive outlooks on negative situations in my mind to make me feel better. Using imagery to help my mental state also made me have a positive outlook on my problems and helped me cope very well. I would highly recommend Deborah's counselling service to anyone having problems in their life as she is a positive, comforting and heart warming person to be around and to talk to.
