About Deborah
Deborah Gray is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety and life changes. She brings a calm, practical manner to sessions and aims to make conversations easy to follow. Her style is warm and interactive so clients can explore what matters most to them.
She has ten years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Deborah draws on a mix of therapies to meet different needs rather than relying on one method alone.
Background and approach
In sessions she listens for what is causing distress and then works with the person to try small, useful steps. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with attachment-focused and emotionally-focused ideas. That combination helps when someone is coping with low mood, relationship strain or trauma.
Deborah also supports people dealing with sleep problems, anger, grief and changes in life circumstances. Conversations are practical and paced to suit the individual. She can offer phone sessions, video calls, live chat or text-based messaging depending on what fits the person’s routine.
International clients who speak English can be seen. Deborah often helps people who feel stuck by focusing on values, clearer boundaries and small behaviour changes. She works with each person to set realistic goals and reviews progress as therapy continues.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss options and adapt techniques to match the person’s goals and preferences. Together they agree what to try first and check progress as therapy continues, making changes if something isn’t helping.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give flexibility for different routines. Video calls support face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins, and messaging can fit around busy days. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting other commitments.
