Debra Thorpe - Counselling for people feeling overwhelmed, disconnected or stuck.
Leicester, Melton Mowbray and Online for Nationwide clients.
Counsellor MBACP
There comes a point - often in midlife but not always - when the life you've built starts asking questions you're not sure how to answer.
It doesn't always have to be a crisis. Sometimes it's quieter than that, a sense of numbness or an emptiness you can't quite explain. A persistent sense that something needs to shift, even if you can't name what.
It might be triggered by something quite specific such as a relationship breakdown, redundancy, bereavement, menopause or perimenopause, aging parents, a career that no longer feels like yours. Or nothing obvious at all.
You might be experiencing anxiety, low mood or a general sense of being overwhelmed or a sense that you've lost track of yourself somewhere along the way.
I'm Deb, a psychodynamic counsellor based in the heart of Leicester, in Melton Mowbray and with clients Nationwide via Online. I offer depth work, with the unconscious for lasting change.

You don’t need to have everything worked out before starting therapy. You only need to be willing to begin. If this feels like it could be a safe space to start exploring what’s going on, I’d be glad to hear from you.
If it would be helpful, we can have a free 15 minute chat on the phone before you book. If this would be helpful, just drop me a message over E-mail and we can get a time and date sorted out.
