Deborah Pell, BACP

Deborah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach helps people identify patterns in thoughts and behaviour that keep problems going, then practises new ways of responding to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for stress, worry and depressive symptoms.

Another approach centres on working through difficult feelings from past events and building safer, more manageable responses in day-to-day life. It can help people affected by trauma, abuse, grief and relationship pain by creating space to process emotions and try new coping strategies.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Deborah collaborates with each person to choose and adapt techniques that match their goals, pace and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts the approach over time so it stays helpful.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat suits quicker check-ins and text messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make therapy more flexible around work, caregiving and other commitments.
