Debra is one of the kindest souls I know. Not only does she truly listen to the heart of what you are saying but she has such emotional intelligence and wisdom to relate to what you are going through. She is super validating and comforting in times of trouble and never makes you feel crazy for the way you might feel.

Hello. I’m Debs Barritt and my passion is helping people. I am motivated to assist people who are facing challenges and finding life difficult. With over 35 years of experience in supporting people, I have a heart for those facing the challenges that life can bring.
My skills lie in listening, communicating, and empathising in a person-centred manner. I can help you discover additional coping skills so that you may live a happier and more fulfilled life.
The decision to contact a counsellor for help is often a big one. So, if you contact me, I promise that you will receive a warm welcome. I will be non-judgemental about the circumstances that led you to make contact.
Only by meeting can we decide whether I am the right person for you.
I believe that nobody should have to suffer unnecessarily or be alone. I am here to help whenever needed.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
