Dr. Debbie Lovell

Debbie is a Chartered Psychologist who lived in Hong Kong for 25 years before repatriating to the United Kingdom. She has in depth understanding of Chinese culture and life in Hong Kong having lived and worked here.

She is an experienced Psychologist who treats the full spectrum of mental health issues from depression, stress and anxiety to a more specialist area of sex therapy. This specialty is particularly synergistic with the pelvic health conditions that we treat for men and women at PhysioMotion.

She has a particular interest in working with issues within a bio-psycho-social framework, a holistic approach that considers the integration of body and mind (bio-psycho) and how an individual’s relational and social/cultural world shapes their experience (psycho-social).
