Edom Debebe

Counsellor & Psychotherapist

Hello, and a warm welcome.

Hello, my name is Edom, and I am a BACP-accredited therapist who has been delivering emotional/therapeutic support to individuals for over ten years.

I am trained in and apply teachings from different schools of psychotherapy, including Person-centred, Psychodynamic, CBT and Existential, as I believe everything depends on the given individual. I have also completed online and telephone therapy training. At the core, my approach is relational. I value the relationship between client and therapist and meeting each client as the individual that they are.

My specialist interest is in trauma/complex trauma and working with childhood abuse survivors. However, I can support you in working through a range of issues such as stress, depression, anxiety, existential crisis, life transitions, loss and grief, work-related issues, cultural issues, relationship and family difficulties and self-identity, to name some.

It takes bravery and determination to reach out to a therapist. The process can seem daunting, but what's important is for you to find a therapist you can build a good rapport with and feel safe with. I aim to create a safe space where I can support you in exploring your difficulties, understand who you are and your needs better and feel empowered to make changes that support and enhance the life you want to live.
