About Deborah

Deborah Faulkner is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She speaks plainly and listens closely to understand what is troubling someone. Her style aims to create a calm space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgement.

With ten years of experience, Deborah blends several ways of working to suit each person. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns.

Background and approach

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thinking and on client-centred work that keeps the person's priorities central. Sessions are practical and paced by the client's needs. Deborah helps people build coping tools for sleep problems, anger, concentration and career stress.

She also supports those facing trauma, grief, parenting strains, identity and intimacy issues, and challenges linked to chronic illness or caregiving. Deborah holds BACP registration, which is noted for readers in the United Kingdom. She works with people who prefer therapy online and welcomes international clients when that fits the person's circumstances.

She aims to make the first steps straightforward. Conversations cover what the person hopes to change, realistic goals and small steps to try between sessions. The focus stays on what helps someone feel steadier and more able to manage day to day.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Deborah's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and helps people notice how those patterns affect current connections and feelings. It can be useful for intimacy concerns, attachment issues and feelings of abandonment. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small changes in thinking and behaviour to reduce anxiety and depression. It is often used for stress, sleep problems and panic. Client-centred therapy puts the person's own goals at the heart of sessions and relies on careful listening to help someone find their own solutions.

Choosing an approach is a shared process. Deborah will talk with the person about goals, what has helped before and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try first and review progress, adjusting the plan as needed to fit the person's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let someone see facial cues and use screen materials for exercises. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, reflective writing between sessions or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
