About Deborah
Deborah Faulkner is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She aims to make the first step easier by creating a calm space where worries can be talked through without judgement. Deborah notes the courage it takes to seek help and meets people with a steady, approachable manner.
Her practice draws on ten years of experience working across a range of concerns, including trauma and abuse, sleeping problems, anger and parenting strain. Deborah also supports clients facing career uncertainty, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. She works with people from LGBT backgrounds and those managing neurodiverse needs such as autism and attention differences.
In sessions she uses a mix of practical and reflective approaches. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces manageable experiments to test new ways of coping. Attachment-based and client-centred ways of working focus on building trust and helping people feel heard. Mindfulness techniques are brought in to help people manage stress in the moment.
Deborah is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She accepts international clients and runs work that addresses additional areas such as adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image and communication problems.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Deborah’s approaches work in online counselling
Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions. CBT is practical and suits issues like anxiety, low mood and anger by breaking problems into small, manageable steps. She also brings in attachment-based and client-centred work to build trust and help people feel listened to. These approaches focus on relationships and understanding how past experiences shape current feelings.Finding the right approach tends to be a collaborative process. Deborah will talk with each person about their needs and goals and suggest techniques to try. Together they check what helps and adapt the plan as therapy progresses so the work fits the person’s life and priorities.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue therapeutic work while they are away from home or living in another country, since international clients are accepted.
