About me

I am a qualified therapist, working in the UK with, in excess of, 20 years’ experience in helping people navigate difficult times. I am an integrative humanistic therapist, which means that I will tailor my approach to your unique needs, drawing on a variety of therapeutic approaches. I will provide you with compassion, empathy and a non- judgemental space, where you can explore your thoughts and feelings with my help.
Couples may come to therapy because there has been a crisis in the relationship, shared life goals have changed or because there are communication difficulties.
In relationship therapy, we meet together to talk about what is happening for you and to explore ways forward. We might focus on how you communicate with each another, in this way building a foundation on which you can resolve your difficulties in the future.
Whether you are facing a crisis or trying to face long-term problems between you, I aim to support both of you as you work through your difficulties.
In my work with couples, I focuses on conflict resolution, improving communication, healing emotional wounds, and, when needed, navigating relationship endings with compassion.
Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Reviews

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Debra Laking. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
