Affordable Therapy Sessions
Whether you are interested in working through a specific problem or want to find out more about yourself, I can help you explore what might be holding you back.
I'm Deborah Coughlin and I offer a non judgmental space for you to process your thoughts and feelings. I see clients in person in Carmarthenshire and London, and also online UK-wide.
I offer a free 15 min introductory call so please get in contact for us to arrange.
​​​
My background in the arts, innovation, and social impact, including contributing to Wales Innovation Strategy for Mental Health, all led me to train in Gestalt Psychotherapy at the Welsh Psychotherapy Institute. ​​
​
As an advanced trainee psychotherapist I am experienced in working with clients struggling with relationships, sexuality, illness, work, trauma, histories of abuse, people who suffer from anxiety or depression and those looking for personal development.
Gestalt therapy is flexible, creative and there is evidence it can be effective for trauma, depression, anxiety and personal development in general. I also integrate other training, including Transactional Analysis, Trauma Informed Neuroscience, Dreamwork and more, depending on the clients needs.

What to Expect...
About psychotherapy
Psychotherapy can be a powerful, life-changing experience which can help you to improve your mental health, overcome social or emotional challenges, and fulfil your potential.
​
I have a specialism in Gestalt psychotherapy, which is a form of therapy that focuses on helping individuals become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours in the present moment. Gestalt therapists employ techniques and principles to facilitate this process of self-awareness and personal growth.
In addition, as my work is integrative I draw on a number of different models and techniques in service of the clients needs, including Transactional Analysis, Dreamwork and Trauma-Informed Neuroscience including poly-vagal theory.
