About Deborah
Deborah Faulkner welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low mood. She introduces a calm, steady presence to help someone talk through hard things and find practical steps forward. Deborah uses clear, down-to-earth language so conversations feel straightforward and manageable.
Deborah uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on attachment ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive behavioural techniques help break unhelpful thinking patterns and build new coping habits.
Background and approach
Mindfulness and client-centred methods support noticing emotions and following the client’s own priorities in sessions. With ten years of experience, Deborah works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She helps people with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, parenting stress, sleep difficulties, relationship and intimacy-related worries, career strain, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with abandonment, adoption and foster care histories, chronic illness and body image issues. In therapy she focuses on creating an accepting space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken about without fear of judgment. Sessions aim to be practical and paced to each person’s needs.
Deborah encourages small, realistic steps between meetings to try out new ways of coping. People who choose Deborah are often looking for a straightforward, collaborative approach. She invites clients to take the first step by selecting the Start Therapy button and completing the short matching questionnaire to arrange sessions.

How Deborah works online
These approaches are presented in a straightforward, collaborative way. The therapist and client work together to decide which ideas to try and what goals to set. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work, and Deborah will check in and adjust things to suit each person’s needs and preferences.
For practical reasons, confirm the exact session options before booking as the biography does not list formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Some approaches, such as short CBT exercises or focused attachment conversations, can work well when sessions are scheduled around everyday commitments.
