About Deborah
Deborah Gray helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or hurt find steadier footing. She speaks plainly and listens carefully so parents and adults can talk about stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and trouble sleeping. Deborah aims to make the first steps feel manageable and goals clear.
Deborah has a Bachelor-level credential from the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings ten years of clinical experience.
Background and approach
She has worked with a wide range of concerns including depression, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, and caregiving strain. She also supports people facing life changes, compassion fatigue, and issues linked to attachment and abandonment. Her style is humanistic and interactive.
Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the client, practising practical skills, and building small changes that make daily life easier. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking and on emotionally-focused and acceptance-based work to process feelings. Deborah describes herself as empathic and respectful.
She encourages people to take an active role in setting goals and choosing techniques that fit their life. The work tends to be conversational, with exercises and reflections to try between meetings. People who value a blend of practical tools and reflective conversation may find this approach useful.
Deborah works with adults across a broad age range and accepts international clients who communicate in English.
