About Deborah
Deborah Mantuano is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and low self-esteem. She supports those struggling with depression, family conflict, trauma and abuse, parenting pressures, anger and career or life changes. Deborah works with clients on hospice and end-of-life issues and on multicultural concerns.
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Deborah approaches sessions with a straightforward, person-centred manner. She sees the client as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Conversations are practical and focused on what a person wants to change. Deborah aims to make each session feel manageable and hopeful. Over 12 years she has carried out one-to-one work across a range of common life problems.
Her experience includes supporting people through loss and transitions, and helping them regain motivation and confidence. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to each person rather than a one-size-fits-all method. In therapy she works collaboratively to set realistic goals and to try different ways of coping.
Sessions can include talking through difficult feelings, identifying unhelpful patterns, and practising small changes between meetings. The overall aim is to help people find more resilience and clearer options for moving forward. People can expect a warm, practical style and steady encouragement.
Deborah offers sessions in English and works with adults in the United Kingdom. Her registration with the BACP is noted as part of her professional background.

Approaches and online therapy options
Deborah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional processing. One approach she commonly employs helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and then tries alternatives in everyday life to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach centres on grief and loss, offering space to process feelings, remember what matters and gradually rebuild routines and meaning after bereavement or major change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah will discuss different ways of working and agree a plan that fits the client's needs, goals and personal preferences. The process is collaborative and can be reviewed as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation, phone is often easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel commitments and to keep continuity when life is busy.
