About Deborah
Deborah Giannasi is a counsellor with 17 years' experience offering person-centred support. She works with adults on issues such as anxiety, grief, parenting stress and life changes. Deborah practises in the United Kingdom and accepts clients internationally in English.
She trained and practises using Carl Rogers' person-centred approach. That means sessions focus on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions. Deborah also has extensive experience in bereavement counselling and supports people through loss and major transitions.
Background and approach
Her wider focus includes stress, family concerns, attachment issues, chronic pain or illness, divorce and separation, forgiveness, life purpose, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia. She draws on continued professional development to broaden her skills and respond to different needs. Deborah is a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists, often shortened to BACP.
She follows the BACP code of practice, completes regular safeguarding training and takes part in monthly supervision sessions. Those practices shape how she plans and reflects on her work. Sessions are offered online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
People who are curious about therapy can complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to therapist availability.

Focus areas and approaches
What Deborah works with
Everything Deborah lists, in their own terms.
Online support
She also brings specific experience in bereavement counselling. That work involves careful pacing, helping people talk about loss, and finding ways to adjust to changed circumstances. For issues linked to family separation, parenting strain or attachment concerns she draws on that experience to offer steady, practical support.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful based on needs, goals and preferences. The clinician and client shape the plan collaboratively rather than applying a fixed method.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues when that matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit shorter check-ins or days when writing is easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health demands while maintaining continuity of care.
