Debbie Thorley Therapies

Debbie Thorley Therapies Qualified Counsellor BACP & NCPS Accredited I also offer Supervision and have completed an accredited course in Creative Supervision.

I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and an Accredited Registrant with the National Counselling Society (NCS) which are the associations for members of the counselling professions in the UK. The relationship between therapist and client is an important factor is facilitating change and I offer an environment that is non-judgemental, inclusive

and empathic. Over the years, I have worked with many different people of all ages from children through to older adults, from different backgrounds and cultures, each with their own individual experiences. I work with people who want to understand themselves on a deeper level, or who use therapy as an ongoing way to maintain their happiness and well-being. It is not always easy to face difficulties and find ways to resolve them, but I have worked with and seen people find ways to understand themselves in a d way that brings about the changes which then lead to more positive, fulfilled and interesting ways of living. The therapeutic process can help you to grow in times of anxiety and mental stress and become a stronger version of yourself. I have studied many differing modalities over the years, and now use an approach that includes aspects of these within my practice including solution focused, trauma informed, brief solution focused, with maintaining a person centred approach at the heart of all I do, putting the person at the centre of the therapeutic journey. It's natural to feel apprehensive or uncertain about what to expect from therapy if you haven't been before. I will provide a welcoming and non-judgemental environment for us to explore together what you feel and look at how this is negatively impacting your life which will then support you to work towards feeling happier and more fulfilled.

If you’re struggling and need someone to talk to, you don’t have to wait. We've launched a new 'Virtual Safe Haven' – giving people across Whitehaven and Copeland the chance to speak to a trained mental health support worker online, the very same day.

🕓 When? 4pm–midnight, every day of the week.
💻 Where? Online video call (you’ll just need a phone, tablet or computer with internet)
👉 How? Book your appointment in a few clicks using the link on our webpage: https://wcmhp.org.uk/hope-haven/

An Everyturn Mental Health support worker can listen, talk through what’s happening for you, and work with you on a plan for ongoing support if you’d like. You don’t need a referral, and there’s no waiting list.

Hope Haven’s new home on King Street is being refurbished and will open later this year as a welcoming place where anyone can walk in for help. Until then, you’ll also find us out in the community, at weekly drop-ins, wellbeing walks, and our chatty café. (Check out the 'events' section on our Facebook profile for details.)

If you’re finding things tough, don’t wait 💚 Book your 'Virtual Safe Haven' appointment today, and get support when you need it.

Brilliant poem. every Monday at 7 at a venue near you. 👌🏼

one of our Facillators from our sunderland beacon of light group has wrote the poem from his experience of attending andy's man club.🔴⚪️

At Andy's Man Club, they gather round,
A safe space found, where hearts abound,
No judgments passed, just listening ears,
Men supporting men through laughter and tears. 😂😭

With humor and heart, they break the mold,
Sharing struggles for young and old,
No stigma here, just strength and might,
A club where men can be their true selves every monday night, 🙎‍♂️

Chris and Joel lead with a guiding hand,
Facilitating talks, across sunderland,
Their passion and care, shinging bright,
Helping men heal, at the beacon of light, 🔴⚪️

The tea is hot, the chats are real,
Men's mental health, they help reveal,
A lifeline cast, a helping hand,
Andy's Man Club, where true friend's stand. ☕️🗣️

So here's to the men who show the way,
Breaking down barriers, day by day,
With empathy and humor, they pave the road,
For men's mental health, and a brighter abode.

What an amazing local resource!
https://cockermouthonline.co.uk/the-comfort-cafe/
People who have suffered a bereavement are invited to a new Comfort Café in Cockermouth, designed to give them a space to help them deal with their grief. The initiative is being organised by the befriending charity Linking Lives Cockermouth and the town’s Churches Together group. The weekly sessions will be facilitated by Karen Dutton, a registered nurse who led an earlier project called Let’s Talk Bereavement.

‘Spoilt for choice’ doesn’t begin to describe eating out in Cockermouth. You’ll find tastes from the Med, the most traditional Cumbrian fare, or hints of India, Thailand, Turkey and beyond at the town’s eateries.
