About Deborah
Deborah Marku uses a pluralistic approach that blends practical therapies to help people manage depression, stress and anxiety. She works in clear, direct ways so conversations stay focused on what matters to the client. Deborah has six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds a BACP credential.
She supports people dealing with trauma, abuse, eating and food-related issues, and challenges with concentration and memory. Her background includes a Master Diploma from the National Centre for Eating Disorders, which covers obesity and related concerns.
Background and approach
Deborah also has experience working with neurodiversity such as Autism, ADHD and dyslexia. Sessions aim to identify simple steps a person can try between meetings. That often means trying new coping skills, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, and building routines that improve sleep and mood.
Conversations are practical and paced to each person’s needs. Deborah pays attention to relationship and intimacy issues, grief and career strain, as well as family and parenting concerns. She also works with longer term processes like attachment, abandonment and codependency.
She uses approaches that help people notice what matters to them and make changes that fit their lives. Her style is collaborative and respectful. Deborah invites people to name priorities and set small, achievable goals.
She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit a range of schedules.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which focuses on clarifying values and committing to actions that matter. ACT can be useful for people feeling stuck by painful thoughts or life changes.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Deborah will discuss your goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps shape which techniques are used and how progress is measured.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are close to face-to-face meetings, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
