Deborah Cockram, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful listening and helping the person lead the conversation. It works well for people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and discover their own solutions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current patterns and helps bring unconscious influences into clearer view, which can help with recurring relationship issues and emotional patterns. Solution-Focused Therapy is short-term and goal directed, concentrating on small achievable changes and practical steps to reduce distress.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Deborah will work with each person to choose what fits best, balancing deeper exploration with short-term goals. This is intended to be collaborative, with the client guiding priorities and the therapist suggesting methods that match those aims.

Online formats let people fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for different schedules, quieter surroundings and varying communication preferences while keeping therapy accessible.
