About Deborah

Deborah Faulkner is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 10 years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy concerns, and anger. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.

Deborah keeps conversations straightforward and practical. She aims to make it easier to name difficult feelings and spot the patterns that keep them going. People who come to her often want help with sleep, low self-esteem, work strain, or the build-up of resentment and frustration. She also works with issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue and care-related stress.

Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred work to build understanding of personal histories and present relationships. Cognitive behavioural strategies and mindfulness practices are used to test out new ways of responding to triggers. Deborah also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at longer-standing patterns that repeat across situations.

In a typical session she listens to what matters most now, then tries a few practical steps that can be used between meetings. That might include simple mindfulness exercises, trying a different response when anger rises, or looking at how thoughts influence mood. Sessions are conversational and focused on small, manageable changes.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment via the See online therapy options button.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Deborah combines attachment-based work with cognitive behavioural techniques to address patterns that fuel repeated anger. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape reactions now and helps people recognise ways they respond in close relationships. Cognitive behavioural work focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces practical experiments to test new responses.

She also uses client-centred principles to keep sessions person-focused and collaborative. That means conversations begin with what matters most to the client and progress by agreement, so goals and methods are chosen together. Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work and Deborah will discuss options based on a person's needs and preferences.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking as the biography does not list exact formats. Online work can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals on the platform help people try practical steps between sessions and adapt methods as life circumstances change.
