ADAPT Counselling
Welcome to the home of ADAPT Counselling, where our passion is helping individual adults from all walks of life. My name is Debs Barritt, the founder of ADAPT.
We offer support in Cambridge and Haverhill, Suffolk, and across the UK (online). We can also offer telephone support, should this be required.
No-one is exempt from the challenges life brings. We are here to walk beside you, listening and bringing hope. Counselling is all about change, and ADAPT can help you find out how. You need not feel alone anymore. Come and tell your story, and we know you will not be disappointed with the results.
Therapy can be short or long-term, but we will always work at your pace with you leading the way. You are under no pressure to perform or be anyone other than your true self. Discover your self-worth and find your true value with ADAPT.
We are motivated to help people who are facing challenges and finding life difficult. Our practice for counselling in Haverhill is located in the renowned Gurteens Building, which boasts a discreet and quiet location just off the High Street.
Working as a team, we have a wealth of experience, offering you the chance to move forward and feel better able to cope. You may feel that your challenges are irrelevant, or too small to seek help, yet no problem is too small, and no person is unworthy of the support we can offer.
We offer one-to-one support to adults who are experiencing mental health issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, anger management, self-harm, and family and relationship issues. We specialise in support for bereavement, holding quarterly (free to attend) bereavement events (See Flowerheads & Candles).
Our skills lie in listening, communicating, and empathising, using an integrative approach. We can help you discover additional coping skills so that you may live a happier and more fulfilled life.
You are welcome to contact us to discuss your options. If we are unable to help, we are in contact with other trusted counsellors. Please simply ask for an onward referral.
Online Counselling
Online Counselling lasts up to 50 minutes. This is usually booked in advance and by video. It helps to be in a confidential, safe environment where you are unlikely to be overheard and can fully focus on the session.
As with in-person counselling, we will conduct an initial consultation to ensure we are a good fit. ADAPT counsellors will always conduct calls from a place where your privacy is guaranteed.
The decision to approach a Counsellor
The decision to contact a counsellor for help is often a big one. So, if you contact me, I promise that you will receive a warm welcome. I will be non-judgemental about the circumstances that led you to make contact. I have private, discrete and comfortable counselling facilities that are located in central Haverhill.
Only by meeting can we decide whether I am the right person for you. I will be considering whether I have the skills to provide the support you are seeking. An initial counselling session lasts up to 50 minutes.
I believe that nobody should have to suffer unnecessarily or be alone. I am here to help. That might be for you, or someone you are concerned about. If that’s the case: contact me.
Flowerheads and Candles
This event is free to attend and happens four times a year. It is a gentle, informative, supportive event where you can connect with others who understand or have experienced loss.
