Deborah has a no-nonsense approach, and doesn't "mollycoddle" me... I really like that. She offers practical advice in straight forward terminology.

Reviewed December 2024

Deborah has always made me feel listened to, validated and seen. After being hesitant to begin this journey Deborah immediately put me at ease, understood my concerns and helped me to focus on my desired areas of growth. She has helped and guided me in working towards where I would like to be and breaking the negative thought patterns that had consumed me for so long. She has a wealth of knowledge and wisdom, both personal and professional and it shows in our sessions. She provides a non judgmental and warm environment to talk, speak, rant and really unpick any thoughts or issues that may be impacting your life. I cannot recommend Deborah highly enough, she has guided and helped me so much on my own personal journey and I couldn’t be more grateful.

More about Deborah

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am an integrative and neuro psychotherapist, working with adults of all ages. I am registered with the BACP in the UK and have over 10 years of experience working with people. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, self-esteem issues, lack of motivation, attachment issues, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional and sexual abuse.

My therapy style is humanistic, empathic, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My therapeutic approach combines acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), humanistic, psychodynamic, and rational-emotive therapy. I work with you towards empowerment and living a life of fulfillment and meaning.

I look forward to working with you, on your journey!

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Deb is the best. She is easy to talk to and to work with, and is very insightful but also a good listener. She gives a lot of attention to her clients, and is able to sort out complex situations. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to talk to- you won’t regret it.

I’m so glad I paired with Deborah. I’ve only had a few sessions but I can see slight changes in me already. I’ve had counselling before and I always felt frustrated and rushed by it. I feel Deborah takes what I say onboard and offers genuine supportive feedback and support. I will forever be grateful for her being a grounding force in my scattered thinking and feeling.
