YOUR COUNSELOR
Meet Debra– Brisbane & Redlands Counsellor
I am Debra Bragança, a Brisbane, Redlands and online counsellor and founder of Anchoring Your Life Counselling. With over 8 years of private practice experience and more than 20 years in leadership and management, I’ve developed a strong foundation in guiding people through change, challenge, and growth. I bring a strengths-based approach to my work, helping clients feel supported, empowered, and ready to reconnect with themselves and their relationships.
I am trained in evidence-based therapies including Gottman Method Couples Therapy (including the Trust Revival Method for Treating Affairs, Trauma and Addiction Recovery) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for individuals, couples and families. These approaches provide practical tools and structured guidance to rebuild trust, connection and resilience.
My focus is on supporting clients to feel heard, understood and reconnected — with themselves, their partner, and their loved ones. Together, we work toward meaningful change and stronger, more fulfilling connections in life and relationships.
The Change My Clients Experience
Counselling creates space for growth, healing and deeper connection.
Many clients describe noticing:
Feeling calmer and more in control of anxiety and emotional overwhelm.
Growing in self-worth, confidence, and a renewed sense of purpose.
Healing past hurts and reconnecting with themselves and to those who matter most.
Talking and listening in new ways that create understanding and empathy.
Rebuilding trust and safety that deepen emotional and physical connection.
Shifting from a ‘me’ to ‘we’ mindset that strengthens the relationship bond.
Communicating more openly, respectfully, and with greater understanding.
Building stronger connections and closeness that bridges generation gaps.
Navigating changes and transitions with greater ease and acceptance.
