More about Deborah

  • 16 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP, NCPS

I am a qualified therapist and practice in the UK . I am registered with the BACP and the NCPS. I have15 years of counselling experience working with adults and young people. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, self esteem, and confidence, & depression, PTSD and sexual abuse and trauma. I also have experience working with coping with life changes and the impact and worry this can bring. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
