More about Deborah
- 6 years' experience

- BACP
I am a passionate and dedicated counsellor with a strong commitment to helping individuals overcome their challenges and achieve their full potential. With a number of years experience in the field of counselling, I have developed a deep understanding and empathy for the struggles that people face in their daily lives.
My approach to counselling is client-centred, meaning that I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space for individuals to explore their thoughts, feelings, and concerns. Through active listening and genuine empathy, I work collaboratively with clients to identify and address the root causes of their challenges, helping them develop effective coping strategies and achieve long-term healing and growth.
I have experience working with a diverse range of clients, including individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. I utilise a variety of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR), tailoring the approach to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual.
In addition to my professional qualifications, I believe in the importance of ongoing growth and learning. I regularly attend workshops, conferences, and training seminars to stay updated on the latest research and advancements in the field of counselling. This allows me to incorporate new tools and techniques into my practice, ensuring that my clients receive the highest quality of care.
I strongly believe that everyone has the potential to create positive change in their lives, and I am deeply committed to supporting individuals on their journey towards self-discovery and personal development. I feel privileged to be a part of their growth and transformation, and I look forward to helping you overcome your challenges and achieve your goals.
Please feel free to contact me for a confidential consultation and take the first step towards a happier, healthier, and more fulfilling life.

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.
