Deborah Margetts Counselling
In-person and online sessions in Orpington, Kent
Hello and welcome
Welcome to Deborah Margetts Counselling in Orpington. I offer therapeutic counselling services in a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental environment allowing you to explore your thoughts and feelings and gain deeper self-awareness.
Whether you need short-term or long-term therapy, I tailor my approach to meet your individual needs, using an integrative method that incorporates various therapeutic techniques.
As a registered member of the BACP, I adhere to their Ethical Framework, ensuring professional standards and ethical practice in all my counselling sessions.
There are many reasons why people seek counselling. It can be for mental health issues, emotional difficulties, relationship issues, or life changes and transitions. Or you may not know what the problem is, and that is okay too.
Together, we can explore what is going on for you in your life and your feelings around it.

Get in touch
I offer a 15 minute call with no obligation to continue with regular counselling sessions afterward. I can answer any questions you have to determine if I am the right counsellor for you.
Call on 07490 724909, email me at deborahmargettscounselling@outlook.com, or complete the contact form.
Your first session
Your first session provides an opportunity for you to share your story and become comfortable in the therapeutic environment. I will ask you some questions about yourself, your health and lifestyle so I can get to understand you better.
I will provide a counselling agreement and explain how we will work together.
Starting counselling
If you decide counselling feels right for you after your initial consultation, we will meet for 50 minutes at the same time each week, however I can offer flexible sessions for shift workers.
I use an open-ended approach - meaning there is no fixed number of sessions. I typically ask for a commitment to six sessions to begin with, then we will review our work together and what you would like to do next.
