About Deborah
Deborah Faulkner is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression. She speaks English and offers sessions that can fit around busy lives. Deborah works with individuals who want a steady, conversational approach to sorting through difficult feelings.
Deborah creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly. She focuses on listening first, then helping people identify small steps they can try between sessions.
Background and approach
The work is practical and conversational, not rushed. Her background spans ten years of professional practice. Deborah holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP in her credentials.
Over a decade she has supported people with trauma and abuse, coping with life changes, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy. She also helps with a wide range of concerns including sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Additional focus areas listed include attachment issues, adoption and foster care, chronic illness and caregiver stress.
Deborah uses several therapeutic approaches depending on the person’s needs. She draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses in daily life. Taking the first step can feel hard and Deborah aims to make it straightforward.
She supports people through the initial stages of therapy, offering clear information about formats and how sessions will run so clients can make an informed choice.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through options with each person and adapt methods to fit their goals and preferences. Many people combine elements from different approaches as their needs change over time.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone while keeping appointments from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or people who express themselves better in writing. Together these formats give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments.
