About Deborah
Deborah Faulkner is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has around 10 years of experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger and related problems. Deborah helps people who are dealing with life changes, parenting pressures, career stress and low self-esteem.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what the client wants to change. Deborah uses talking, reflection and practical exercises to help people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.
Her work draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that test them. Mindfulness methods are offered to help slow racing thoughts and manage tension.
Deborah describes a client-centred stance in the room, so the person's priorities steer the work. Psychodynamic thinking is brought in when looking at deeper patterns that repeat across relationships over time. The mix aims to be pragmatic and relevant to everyday life.
Sessions are presented calmly and without judgement. People who come because of anger often want clearer boundaries, less reactivity and better ways to express frustration. Deborah supports practical steps toward those goals while exploring the experiences that keep old patterns going.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Deborah uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships influence present reactions. This approach helps when anger feels connected to hurts from close relationships and looks at patterns that repeat over time.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes. CBT is practical for workplace frustration, repeated outbursts, and thought patterns that fuel anger. Mindfulness practices are offered to slow reactivity, reduce bodily tension and improve attention to present experience.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss options with each person and together they will pick methods that suit the person's goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change as progress is made.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking as they are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let someone choose audio only when they prefer not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can support the same kinds of therapeutic goals online as in-person therapy, and Deborah will adapt exercises and techniques to the format chosen.
