About Deborah
Deborah Faulkner is a UK-based counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She offers a calm, listening presence for those dealing with trauma, relationship and intimacy worries, or parenting strain. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping someone feel able to speak freely and be heard.

She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care matters, and long-term health conditions.
Her practice draws on approaches such as attachment-based work, client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas. Sessions focus on clear, manageable strategies alongside time to talk through deeper patterns and history. Deborah aims to tailor her way of working to each person’s needs.

How her approaches shape online therapy
Deborah draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide online sessions. Client-centred therapy means she focuses on listening and helping people reflect on their feelings, which suits worries about relationships, identity and grief. Cognitive behavioural techniques offer clear steps to try between sessions, useful for managing anxiety, sleep problems and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deborah will work with each person to agree which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaboration might mean blending listening-focused conversation with practical exercises and mindfulness practices over time.
Practical advantages of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy lives and cutting travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or longer conversations during lunch breaks or after work. Because formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm the available session types on the booking service before arranging appointments.
