About Deborah
Deborah Gray is a BACP-registered counsellor with ten years' experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.
Deborah uses approaches that focus on emotions, attachment and practical steps. In sessions she helps people name feelings that feel unclear and notices the patterns those feelings create in relationships and everyday life. She explains techniques in plain language and checks what makes sense for each person.
Her background blends several therapy styles so she can draw on different ways of working. That includes Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at emotional responses, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to explore values and action, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for thinking and behaviour patterns. She describes her practice as interactive and person-focused.
Deborah has experience with issues such as sleeping problems, anger, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and caregiver stress. She also works with concerns like abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems. Her practice includes work with both long-standing and recent difficulties.
People who choose her can expect steady, clear sessions where practical options are discussed. She asks about what you want to change and offers tasks that support those goals. To begin, she invites people to select an initial matching step and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people explore and name their core emotions and notice how those emotions shape relationships and behaviour. It can be useful when feelings feel overwhelming or hard to put into words. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with what matters most, which can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect present-day connections and reactions, helping people recognise and shift those patterns.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options and decide with you which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. Sessions can blend approaches over time so the plan can change as progress is made.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments, or offering options that do not require being on camera. Many people find that talking from their usual surroundings helps them practise new responses in everyday contexts. Registered or accredited professionals can explain practical steps for booking and what to expect in a first online meeting.
