How Deborah’s approaches work online
Deborah blends client-centred counselling and cognitive behavioural techniques to help people change how they think and cope. Client-centred work means the conversation follows the person’s concerns and pace, aiming to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioural therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also draws on mindfulness practices to help clients stay present and manage stress. Mindfulness exercises can be simple breathing or attention practices that reduce reactivity and improve focus. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process; Deborah will talk with each client about their goals and preferences and suggest ways of working together that feel right.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging so people can fit therapy around work, travel or caregiving. Video lets you work face to face when you want that connection. Phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier on busy days. Live chat or messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to everyday life.
