About Deborah
Deborah Espie is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has eight years' experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief, low mood, addictions and a wide range of life changes. Deborah also supports people with ADHD, issues around identity and intimacy, and career or parenting concerns.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. She listens and helps people name what feels hard. Sessions move at a client’s pace and use simple exercises and reflection rather than jargon. Deborah draws on approaches that fit the person rather than following one fixed model.
Deborah uses client-centred conversation alongside mindfulness and solution-focused ideas to help with practical problems and emotional overwhelm. She also works with trauma-focused methods when past harm needs careful attention. Where useful she introduces imagery, metaphor and reflective exercises to open up new ways of thinking and feeling.
Her background includes senior clinical and academic roles that inform how she sees coping and change. That experience shapes a practical, evidence-aware approach to everyday difficulties such as feeling behind, struggling at work or managing relationship conflict.
Sessions are offered in English and Deborah does not take international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the platform button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How Deborah uses client-centred, mindfulness and solution-focused work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It helps when someone needs space to talk things through and be heard while weighing up options and next steps.Mindfulness Therapy brings simple attention and breathing practices into sessions. It can help with anxiety, stress and being overwhelmed by day-to-day pressures by teaching short exercises to calm the moment.
Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on identifying small, practical changes that move a person toward their goals. This approach is useful for career questions, relationship problems and coping with life transitions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Deborah will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then agree a way of working together. That choice is collaborative and can change as needs change.
