Welcome to Back on Track Counselling & Psychotherapy
Feeling overwhelmed or not sure where to start? I’m here to help. There’s no “one-size-fits-all” in counselling—together we’ll shape a plan that fits your needs, concerns, goals, and what matters most to you. I want you to know you’re on the path to getting Back on Track.
My approach combines genuine compassion with professional expertise to create a safe space for healing and growth. I know how important it is to find someone who really listens without judgement, and I'm dedicated to therapy that's tailored to your unique needs and interests. Whatever your age, background, culture, or identity, you're welcome here.

A Welcome from Deborah
A brief introduction to the practice and how we can work together.
In a Nutshell
My Practice
- Experience: 35 years in practice

- My Approach: Together with my client I go beyond trauma-informed counselling to trauma processing, healing and post-traumatic growth. Compassionate, person-centred, and trauma-informed.
- Modalities: I draw from a number of evidence-based therapies including EMDR, Somatic Therapy, DBT, CBT and ACT—combining top-down (cognitive) and bottom-up (body and nervous system) approaches—to tailor a plan that works for you. I also offer Expressive Therapies, including Symbol and Sand Tray work, for powerful, non-verbal ways to explore and process complex emotions.

Does this sound like it could be you?
- You're ready to process your trauma, commit to the therapeutic process, and move from just surviving to thriving? OR
- You're navigating anxiety, depression, or related mental health concerns? OR
- You're neurodivergent and seeking a therapist who understands varied support needs and dual diagnosis? OR
- All of the above?
What You Need to Know
- Sessions: Sessions can run for up to 90 minutes—enough time for the therapeutic work to be done, to attend to what you're feeling, and to transition back to a place of composure and functionality so you can return to your family, study or workplace without feeling rushed.
- Confidentiality: Your safety and confidentiality are my top priority. Sessions are confidential within legal and ethical limits, so you can speak freely in a safe, respectful space.
- Direct access: No doctor's referral is required and there is no waiting list. I respond to enquiries within 24–48 hours. (Note: Back on Track is not a crisis service. If in crisis, call Lifeline on 13 11 14.)
- Private Health Rebates: Yes, we have private health insurance rebates with many providers. Check with your provider to ensure you are covered for counselling.
- Who I work with: I work with people of all ages, backgrounds, cultures and identities.

Professional Registrations
For you, working with a registered therapist means your practitioner is accountable to a professional body, meets clear ethical and practice standards, and keeps their skills current—so the care you receive is safe, accountable, and up to date. I maintain these accreditations through ongoing supervision and professional development.
"Many people tell me that they are 'a lot' or 'too much', or that their trauma or context is 'too extreme'. Let me reassure you: with 35 years' experience, I have never met a client who was too much or too extreme for us to work through the issues and concerns together—and toward healing."
