About me - Debbie Bakewell:
- Based in Ivybridge, South Devon, I am a qualified practitioner providing (CBT) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Person Centred Counselling, and am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists).
- If you prefer, you can access therapy with me on-line via Zoom or Whatsapp. Just let me know and we can sort out this facility for you.
- I trained at Devon Counselling College, Newton Abbot and have an Advanced Diploma in CBT,
- SFBT (Solution Focused Based Therapy) and PC (Person Centred) Counselling.
Previously I worked as a voluntary counsellor in both a private practice and in the public sector - the Youth Enquiry Service, including counselling young people whilst in school.
- I work using the Person Centred Approach but have found CBT and other strategies such as Transactional Analysis, Sandplay etc can be extremely beneficial. I will work in whatever way suits you best - this is something we can explore together.
- I have experience of working with all age groups with a wide range of issues and I attend regular workshops to ensure continuous professional development is met, which include:
- Suicide Prevention & Risk Management
Children & Young People's Mental Health - Child Protection Foundation
- Sandplay Therapy
- Solution Focused Based Therapy (SFBT)
- Working With Psychological Trauma
- Diversity In Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity
