About Deborah
Deborah Faulkner welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or major life changes. She is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and ten years of experience. Deborah aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin.
She creates a calm, open space where clients can talk through difficult feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the person in front of her and finding realistic ways to manage day-to-day challenges. Deborah emphasises listening closely and responding to each person's pace.
Her practice supports people coping with trauma and abuse, depression, sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, career stress and compassion fatigue. Additional areas she addresses include ADHD, attachment issues, adoption and foster care, and long-term health or caregiving challenges.
Deborah draws on several approaches to shape therapy to the individual. She uses client-centred work to build trust, attachment-focused ideas to look at relationship patterns, and cognitive-behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives are used when they suit a person's goals.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and sessions are held in English. Deborah encourages people who are unsure to take a first small step and complete the short matching questionnaire to see if her style might be a good fit.

How Deborah’s approaches shape online therapy
Deborah combines client-centred work with attachment ideas and cognitive-behavioural techniques to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and helping people find their own solutions, which can be useful for general life stress, low mood and relationship worries. Attachment-based ideas look at how early connections affect current relationship patterns and help when intimacy or trust are repeated concerns. Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and routines by teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and manage mood.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Deborah will work with each person to agree what to try first, check how it feels, and adjust methods as goals change. She aims to match techniques to the client’s needs, preferences and daily life rather than using one fixed model.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow conversations to continue across borders for international clients. Deborah uses her clinical approaches to structure sessions so they feel practical and focused, helping people apply what they learn between meetings.
