About Deborah
Her practice draws on Carl Rogers' person-centred model, which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people find their own resources for change. When working with children she incorporates experiential play therapy to help young clients express themselves and process difficult emotions through age-appropriate activities. Over the years Deborah has developed skills through continued professional development, enabling her to work in both school and private settings.
Deborah offers support for a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, bereavement and loss, family separation, attachment issues, parenting challenges, and self-harm. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) - the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists - and follows their code of practice. Deborah undertakes regular safeguarding training and attends monthly supervision to maintain high standards of care.
Person-centred and play-based approaches for online support
Deborah primarily uses person-centred therapy, a collaborative approach that emphasises empathic listening, acceptance, and helping people access their own strengths to address issues like anxiety, grief, and life transitions. For children she integrates experiential play therapy, using guided play and creative activities to help young clients communicate feelings and work through attachment concerns or family changes in a developmentally appropriate way.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process rather than a one-time decision. Deborah works together with each client to identify goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as understanding deepens and needs evolve. This collaborative stance ensures therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a predetermined model.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for busy families, those with mobility or health challenges, and clients in different locations. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, access timely support during transitions or grief, and continue work with a licensed professional without the need to travel, while still focusing on meaningful therapeutic progress.
