About Deborah
Deborah Faulkner is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and aims to make the first step into therapy feel easier. She welcomes people who are dealing with life changes, trauma and relationship or intimacy concerns. Deborah also offers support around parenting, sleep problems, ADHD and compassion fatigue.
With ten years of practice, Deborah focuses on creating a calm space where clients can speak honestly. She uses everyday language and listens for what matters most to each person. Sessions are intended to be non-judgemental and paced to fit the person’s needs.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and on client-centred work that prioritises the person’s own goals. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used when helpful to challenge unhelpful thinking and build practical coping skills.
Deborah also includes mindfulness and psychodynamic perspectives when they suit a client’s concerns. Mindfulness helps with stress and sleep, while psychodynamic thinking can help uncover long-standing patterns linked to mood or intimacy issues.
She accepts people from outside the UK and works in English. If you are feeling unsure about starting, Deborah encourages small first steps - a short questionnaire then a time to talk - so you can see whether the fit feels right.
How Deborah’s approaches translate to online therapy
Deborah often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help when people notice repeated trust or closeness problems that affect mood or intimacy. She also draws on client-centred counselling, which focuses on listening, acceptance and the person’s own goals to guide sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first based on needs and preferences. That collaboration can include trying practical CBT-style techniques or slower reflective work, depending on what feels useful. The practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session formats offered, which are not specified in the biography, so confirm options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and let someone check in from a quieter place. It also allows continuity of contact for people living abroad, since Deborah accepts international clients. She aims to make sessions feel manageable and tailored to everyday life rather than fitting therapy around the client.Areas of expertise
