Hello, I'm Debs
"My journey has taken me to a place I want to take people"
A little about my story
I’m Debs, and for over 17 years, I’ve had the privilege of guiding individuals toward emotional wellness. My journey began long before my professional career; it started during my time in the Royal Air Force, I faced deeply personal struggles, including suicidal thoughts. That experience became a turning point, shaping not only my resilience but also my purpose: to help others heal from within.
After six years of service, I transitioned into the mental health sector, where I led life-changing initiatives as a Service Delivery Manager for a Mental Health Charity. I have delivered workshops across public and private sectors, created Health & Well-being Events, and led transformative retreats, all designed to help people reconnect with themselves.
My work has also taken me beyond the therapy room. I’ve shared my story and insights on radio shows, podcasts, public speaking events, and through writing blogs, articles, and my self-published book—all with the hope of reaching those who need support and inspiration.
As an NLP Practitioner, Personal Trainer, Hypnotherapist and Therapist, I approach well-being holistically, honouring the powerful connection between mind and body. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be honest with yourself and take steps toward the life you truly want.
I’m currently writing my next book, but my mission remains the same: to walk alongside you as you rediscover your strength, clarity, and purpose.
Welcome to Mind and Body Specialist. Your journey of healing and transformation starts here.
Testimonials
“I had not been on a plane for over 3 years, I had a few sessions with Debs, purely based on my fear of flying. I got on a short flight to Ireland which is just over an hour. I wouldn’t have done it without Debs. As a therapist she is understanding, and I felt very comfortable discussing my issues with her”
Em – Fear of Flying
“Thanks for a great workshop on ‘anger’. I particularly found the section about primary and secondary emotions helpful as I have repressed my anger for so long.”
Workshop ‘Anger is Real and So are You’

Thank you so much Debs”
