About Deborah
Her approach draws on psychodynamic psychoanalytic ideas alongside practical methods from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions focus on looking at thoughts, feelings and repeated patterns that influence day-to-day choices. Conversations aim to bring hidden or automatic responses into awareness so people can make different decisions.
Deborah uses a mix of talking, reflecting and straightforward exercises. She helps people name patterns linked to past experiences and then tests small changes in thinking or behaviour. This can include work on communication skills, coping with urges, or steps to manage low mood and grief.
She offers a calm, direct style and encourages honest discussion about difficult feelings. Sessions are structured but flexible, with space to notice emotional reactions and also plan practical next steps. Deborah helps people weigh options when they feel stuck or unsure what comes next.
Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she speaks English. International clients are accepted. To begin, people use the site’s matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session through the platform.

How Deborah uses CBT and psychodynamic ideas in online work
Deborah combines psychodynamic psychoanalytic thinking with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when working online. Psychodynamic work involves looking at repeated emotional patterns and links to past relationships. It helps people notice how old responses turn up in current situations and gives a way to talk through those patterns.CBT focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and short experiments to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can help with low mood, anxiety, addictions and problems with eating or substance use.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Deborah discusses goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggests a mix of methods. This is a collaborative process so plans are adjusted as sessions progress.
Confirm the exact session formats on the therapist’s profile before booking. The online route can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also supports working around different time zones for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to suit remote sessions.
