About Debra
Debra Maxwell is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, anger and a range of other difficulties. She accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
Debra uses a client-centred approach. She focuses on listening carefully and helping people talk through how they feel. In sessions she encourages honest conversation about difficult topics such as trauma, addiction, self-harm and workplace stress. The goal is to help people notice patterns and consider different ways of responding to them.
Her work involves practical conversation and reflection rather than long lectures. She may introduce different tools and techniques when they suit a person’s situation. This can include ways to manage overwhelming feelings, improve sleep, or handle recurring worries that affect daily life.
Debra often helps people dealing with attachment issues, isolation, guilt and shame, or life changes like cancer or caregiver stress. She also supports those facing mood concerns such as depression, bipolar mood shifts, or issues linked to ADHD. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the person’s needs.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How client-centred work translates online
Client-centred therapy places the person’s perspective at the centre of sessions. It focuses on listening without judgement, reflecting what someone says, and helping them find their own solutions. This approach can be helpful for anger, grief, stress and relationship concerns because it supports clearer understanding of feelings and motivations.Debra may also introduce practical tools alongside client-centred conversation when they suit a person’s goals. These additions are used collaboratively and only when the client agrees. Together they decide which methods to try based on needs, preferences and what happens in early sessions.
If you are considering online work, please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking since the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, while video helps when visual cues are helpful for conversation. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to practical constraints and everyday schedules.
