Deb joined the Chirotherapy team in 2022, helping address the emotional and mental aspects of overall health.

It is well understood that people’s experience of both health issues that include chronic disease and cancers as well as musculoskeletal problems impacts people’s well-being and can lead to feelings of loneliness and stress.
Also, chronic stress has been shown to be a contributing factor for many of these conditions. These links between mental and physical health can impact a person’s quality of life.

Deb’s focus as a health care provider over the last 30 years has always been to help people improve their lives and their health status, initially as a nurse and now as a counsellor. She has a Master’s degree in counselling and is registered with the Australian Counselling Association (ACA) and a Professionally Certified Coach (PCC) with the International Coach Federation. Deb is still a Registered Nurse. To this end, Deb is drawn to working with people whose quality of life, in the short or long term, has been impacted by illness which includes:

• Chronic disease
• Cancer
• Musculoskeletal issues
• Being a carer who is advocating for their loved ones and at the same time, managing the impact of what is happening with their own mental and physical well-being.

Clients include people who:

• Have cancer, a long-standing health issue or a musculoskeletal issue that causes or is exacerbated by chronic stress and affects their quality of life.
• Are experiencing the psychological, and emotional impacts of cancer, chronic disease, or a musculoskeletal issue and at the same time need to solve practical problems and advocate for themselves.
• Care for or are caring for someone who has cancer or a chronic physical or mental illness. Carers can be parents, partners, or adult children.
