About Debs

Understand those inner stories and release the blocks

I really understand what it feels like to get stuck. Perhaps your sleep is disrupted or stress and anxiety are getting to you? On the surface, life looks fine. You’re functioning, coping, maybe even achieving some of your targets. Yet underneath, something feels off. You often feel tired. Your mind doesn’t switch off. You're busy but not fulfilled, and that creative idea or wishful thinking keeps getting pushed aside.

Story Healing was created for people in that space because I've been there too.

I believe each of us holds a unique inner story; the one we tell ourselves about who we are and what we’re capable of doing. Sometimes those stories help us move forward. Sometimes they keep us stuck with anxiety, or physical symptoms, self-criticism, or exhaustion. Yet maybe you're ready to change?

My work combines solution focused hypnotherapy with compassionate listening, practical neuroscience, and creative coaching. Rather than spending ages analysing the past, we focus on how your brain works and how small, consistent changes can help you feel better. You'll notice being calmer, sleeping better, and regaining your clarity and energy for the life you want to live.

Alongside hypnotherapy, I’m also a writing coach and marketing mentor. I retrained in counselling, psychology and neuroscience after years working in marketing and publishing, supporting people to share their stories in ways that aligned with their values and mission.

For years, I noticed how often people struggled because of their lack of confidence and self-doubt, and the emotional weight of past experiences. These are often the stories that matter most.

Over time, my work has evolved to support people at different stages of life. Perhaps you're facing a career change? Or you're ready to transition into retirement? Or maybe you're stepping onto a more spiritual path.

I’m known for my calm, grounded presence and my intuitive ability to truly listen. Clients tell me they feel lighter, clearer, and more able to make decisions after our sessions. I'll support you to choose your own path, at your own pace.

Story Healing is all about understanding your mind, releasing the blocks and shifting your inner story, and creating space for what wants to emerge next.

If you’re curious about working together, you’re welcome to get in touch.
