About Deborah
Deborah Faulkner offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and life changes. She introduces simple ways to talk about difficult feelings so conversations feel less overwhelming. Deborah names survival and coping skills as early priorities so people can feel steadier day to day.
She uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs. Client-centred work focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions.
Background and approach
Cognitive behavioural techniques look at unhelpful thoughts and small steps that change how someone feels. Attachment-based and psychodynamic ideas are used when past relationships affect current patterns. Deborah has worked in the field for 10 years and holds BACP registration.
Her background includes supporting people after trauma, during bereavement and through major life adjustments. She also attends to specific concerns such as sleep problems, anger, career strain and compassion fatigue. Sessions cover a wide range of issues including parenting strains, intimacy-related questions, ADHD and self-esteem.
Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, ageing and health-related challenges, chronic illness, and body image. She also addresses communication problems and commitment concerns. Therapy can be delivered in ways that fit busy lives, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
International clients who speak English can access her work. Getting started usually means completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit individual schedules.

Online support
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, listen to what has worked or not worked before, and suggest a way forward together. Plans can change as progress is reviewed so the work stays aligned with the person's needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or those who want gradual steps into therapy. These options help fit therapy into work, family life and different time zones.
