Deborah Jones, ACA

Deborah Jones is an Australian counsellor with more than 20 years of professional experience and she holds the ACA credential, a professional counselling credential in Australia. Over two decades of practice have given her extensive experience supporting people facing stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, motivation challenges, binge or emotional eating, and concerns about self-esteem and confidence.

She typically adopts a solution-focused narrative approach in sessions, drawing on years of work with hundreds of clients to help people identify practical steps toward the changes they want. When deeper internal work is needed, she brings training in Internal Family Systems to explore and heal underlying parts of the self. She is also a certified trauma therapist, which informs her work with clients who have experienced trauma or abuse.

Deborah aims to support a range of goals - from short-term symptom relief and improved day-to-day functioning to longer-term personal growth and deeper inner healing. In sessions she prioritizes an open, nonjudgmental atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. She encourages the courage it takes to begin therapy and works collaboratively to help people move toward a more fulfilling, balanced life.
