Welcome to Blue Butterfly Counselling

I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal, grow, and rediscover meaning in their life, regardless of what they have been through. 

Pain, loss, trauma, and adversity can leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves, from others, and from any sense of hope for the future. 

My work is grounded in the belief that emotional and psychological wellbeing are essential to overall health, and that with the right support, understanding, and safety, change is always possible.

At Blue Butterfly Counselling, I offer online trauma informed counselling across the UK and Internationally for adults and teens who are struggling with anxiety, depression, emotional pain, and the long term effects of difficult life experiences. 

Therapy is not about fixing you or telling you how to live. It is about creating a compassionate space where your experiences are honoured, your nervous system can settle, and you can begin to reconnect with your inner strength.

Your future can feel bright again. 

Healing does not mean forgetting what has happened. It means finding safety, meaning, and self trust in the present.

“Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength”
Sigmund Freud

My name is Debbie and I provide trauma informed counselling and holistic therapy for adults across the UK and Internationally. I offer online therapy and confidential one to one support tailored to your individual needs, experiences, and goals.

I specialise in supporting clients with:

• trauma and complex trauma
• sexual abuse, sexual trauma, and boundary violations
• recovery from narcissistic abuse, emotional abuse, and psychological harm
• addiction and substance misuse recovery
• anxiety, panic, and emotional overwhelm
• depression and low mood
• grief, loss, and bereavement, including bereavement by suicide
• relationship difficulties, attachment wounds, and family conflict
• self worth, identity, people pleasing, and emotional safety

Many clients come to me feeling exhausted, stuck, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Whether you are seeking sexual trauma counselling, narcissistic abuse recovery therapy, or support for grief, addiction, or emotional distress, therapy offers a space where you do not have to carry this alone.

All work is offered in a safe, respectful, and confidential environment, always guided by your comfort and consent.

I am an experienced psychotherapeutic counsellor working in a trauma informed, client centred, and integrative way. This means that you are always at the heart of our work together. Therapy is shaped around your experiences, your pace, and what feels emotionally safe for you.

I work collaboratively with clients to explore what has shaped them, identify their personal goals, and develop a therapeutic approach that supports both emotional understanding and practical change. I draw on integrative counselling, trauma informed practice, nervous system awareness, psychoeducation, and relational therapy to create a space that is both compassionate and effective.

I offer a calm, non judgemental, and confidential environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without pressure or expectation. There is no requirement to disclose anything before you are ready. Safety, choice, and emotional containment are always prioritised.

At the heart of my work is the therapeutic relationship itself. Healing happens through being seen, heard, and supported in a way that allows trust, self compassion, and emotional stability to grow. 

Whether you are working through trauma, recovering from emotionally harmful relationships, or seeking support for grief, anxiety, or addiction, therapy becomes a place to reconnect with yourself and move forward with greater clarity and strength.
