About Deborah
Deborah Faulkner is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She welcomes people dealing with trauma, coping with life changes, and those looking for support with intimacy, parenting or work-related strain. Deborah works in a calm, non-judgemental way and encourages straightforward conversation about what feels hard right now.
She aims to make the first steps easier. She creates time to listen, to understand practical needs, and to agree small goals together. Sessions focus on what is most pressing, whether that is managing worry, improving sleep, or finding ways to cope after loss.
Her approach draws on Attachment-Based work and Client-Centred therapy to build trusting conversations. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas are used as tools to spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Deborah adapts methods to each person rather than following a fixed formula.
With ten years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), she brings steady support for hard moments. She also offers help with a wide range of related concerns, from ADHD and self-esteem to caregiver stress and chronic illness.
People who choose to work with her are invited to shape the process. The emphasis is on practical steps, clearer thinking and small changes that fit into everyday life.
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online counselling
Deborah blends Attachment-Based and Client-Centred work to create a steady online conversation. Attachment-Based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections affect current feelings and behaviour. Client-Centred therapy prioritises your experience and encourages honest, non-judgemental talk so you can set the pace and topics for each session.These approaches are practical to explore in remote sessions because they rely on conversation, reflection and agreed exercises. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Deborah will talk with you about your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that make sense for your situation.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking to confirm how Deborah currently meets with clients. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions help maintain continuity during stressful periods and make regular progress more manageable.
