About Deborah
Deborah Cockram is a counsellor with 25 years of experience who helps people facing anxiety, stress and major life changes. She works with individuals finding panic attacks frightening, parents juggling responsibilities, and people coping with grief, low self-esteem or relationship strain. Deborah aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space so clients can talk things through at their own pace.
Deborah trained and practises as an integrative therapist and holds BACP registration, which she lists as her professional credential. Much of her background is in workplace counselling for an international company, where she supported people with burnout, trauma and career-related stress. She finds that acknowledging a person’s strengths helps them move through difficult moments.
In sessions she works collaboratively, listening first and tailoring the work to each person’s needs. Her approach draws on client-centred ways of building trust, psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences shape current feeling, and solution-focused techniques to set practical steps forward. This mix lets Deborah address immediate problems while also looking at deeper patterns.
She also supports people with concerns such as parenting stress, compassion fatigue, eating and sleeping difficulties, attachment and abandonment worries, obsessive thoughts, phobias and panic disorder and panic attacks. Deborah speaks English and offers her practice from the United Kingdom, including arrangements for international clients.

How Deborah’s approaches shape online therapy
Deborah uses client-centred, psychodynamic and solution-focused ideas to guide her work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people feel understood so they can find their own solutions; it suits issues like anxiety and low self-esteem. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences and patterns affect current feelings, which can help when worries repeat or relationships feel stuck. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical, small steps and goals to reduce distress and build coping skills.Finding the right mix is part of the process. Deborah works together with each person to decide which approach feels most useful for their goals and situation. That choice can change over time as people try things and notice what helps.
