About Deborah

Deborah Faulkner is a counsellor who focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and life changes. She offers calm, patient support and encourages people to speak openly about what matters to them. Deborah aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for someone who may be feeling overwhelmed.

She uses a mix of approaches to match individual needs. That can include Trauma-Focused ways of dealing with difficult memories, Attachment-Based ideas that look at how early relationships shape patterns, and Client-Centred work that puts the person's experience at the centre.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness techniques are also drawn on when they fit the goal. Across ten years of practice Deborah has worked with a wide range of concerns. These include parenting and family-related stress, anger, sleep problems, self-esteem, career pressures, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related difficulties.

She also supports people facing bereavement, chronic illness, adoption and attachment issues, body image, communication problems and intimacy-related worries. Sessions take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, and Deborah accepts international clients. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

People who come to her can expect a practical, conversational style. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on small, workable steps that fit their day-to-day life. Deborah works collaboratively to find the best path forward.

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

Approach and online therapy options with Deborah

Deborah often uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of triggers. This approach focuses on understanding how past events affect current feelings and on building strategies to manage strong reactions.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, which looks at how early relationships shape ways of relating to others. That can help when people notice repeated patterns in intimacy, communication or trust. Client-Centred Therapy is another influence, where sessions are guided by the person's own priorities and pace rather than a fixed agenda.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will explore your goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods that fit those aims. She takes a collaborative stance, adjusting the mix of techniques as things change over time.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text are useful for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier than speaking. These formats help people access regular support from the United Kingdom or overseas and allow sessions to be scheduled around work or family commitments.
