Deb McFadyen Registered Counsellor

My mission is to empower my clients with compassionate care and effective tools to enhance your well-being and quality of life.

I am a friendly practitioner with over two decades experience as a counsellor and therapist.  I provide clinical guidance and support to clients in various therapeutic settings. My core competencies include establishing and cultivating trusting relationships, and facilitating positive change and psychological improvement particularly relating to disordered eating, and trauma.

I take care to provide a safe and comfortable to space to support you and provide relief with the following:

• Understand the impact and heal from past trauma
• Provide insight to negative thinking and emotional spirals, and develop effective coping skills
• Identify your values and what is important to you to move towards your hopes and dreams
• Identify and reinforce your strengths to reduce difficulties and self-defeating patterns
• Develop greater self-awareness and self-worth to counteract self-doubt and build confidence
• Cope with changing seasons of life
• Learn about the mind-body connection and how to enhance overall mental and physical health
• Identify barriers and obstacles and how to get unstuck

I will use evidence-based strategies, such as EMDR therapy, to help you overcome your challenges and achieve your goals. I also collaborate with other health professionals to create holistic and comprehensive care plans.

About Me

I am a therapist with specialty training and experience with individuals who struggle with eating disorders, body image issues, and trauma, as well as problems with mood and most mental health concerns. 

I have a postgraduate qualification in psychology and education, and a keen interest and experience in nutrition and its role in mental and physical health. I am passionate about learning and staying updated with the latest research and innovations in my field.

I provide in-person therapy in a central location where there is a ‘walk and talk’ option as well as online.
