She specialises in Women’s Health and has a First Class Honours Degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy.   She is a Professional Member of the Counsellors & Psychotherapists' Association of Victoria (CAPAV) and the Psychotherapists and Counsellors Federation of Australia (PACFA)   Deborah grew up in Dublin, Ireland. Throughout her adolescent years, she experienced ill-health. At the age of 22 she was diagnosed with Endometriosis, a debilitating health disorder that is one of the leading causes of pelvic pain and infertility in women.   Although there is no known cure for the condition, Deborah discovered that by taking an active role in the management of her own health, and by restoring a sense of dignity and deeper meaning to her cyclical nature, she was gradually able to overcome this disorder. She has been symptom free for over 16 years.   Deborah's experiences motivated her to train as a complimentary health therapist in counselling, psychotherapy, meditation and healing, so that she could offer support to others who suffer from chronic illness or physical and emotional distress. She also has a wealth of experience and expertise in the coporate environment, having worked as an Assistant Vice President of Human Resources with an international financial solutions company and as Office & Personnel Manager with Ireland's leading Sunday business newspaper.   In 1987 she co-founded the Endometriosis Association of Ireland and was secretary for the first few years of its inception. She completed the first ever research study of "Irish Women's Experiences with Endometriosis" which highlighted the physical, medical, social and emotional impact of the disorder on women in Ireland.   In 2003 Deborah moved to Melbourne, Australia and later established Inner Health Solutions, along with fellow health professional Gerard O'Riley.   Her skills include counselling, psychotherapy, groupwork and meditation. Through her warm, supportive and professional approach, Deborah has helped many people in areas which include stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, depression, relationships, marriage counselling, chronic illness, personal growth and life transitions.   Deborah specialises in Women's Health, helping women discover their innate internal resources and in healing the connection between their cyclical nature, passion and creativity for life. She has particular expertise in helping women with Endometriosis and PMS improve the quality of their life, whilst enhancing their physical and emotional health.   Deborah was an active committee member of the Endometriosis Association of Victoria and also worked for the Endometriosis Clinic as a counsellor. She is passionate about raising awareness of endometriosis and gives presentations to companies, health care workers and secondary schools on the nature and impact of the disorder on women's lives.
