About Deborah
Deborah Jackson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and depression, and helps with life transitions, addictions and relationship and family concerns.
She works in a person-centred way. That means sessions focus on the client’s experience and priorities. Conversations aim to identify what feels stuck and to find practical steps forward together.
Deborah often hears about sleep problems, intrusive thoughts, overwhelm and difficulty saying what is needed. She also works with anger, panic attacks, isolation and feelings of emptiness. People come when life feels confusing, when relationships are strained, or when a loss or separation has left them unsure how to move on.
Her approach draws on client-centred therapy and solution-focused therapy. That combination keeps the focus on the person while also trying small, realistic changes that can make a difference between sessions.
Sessions are used to talk through current difficulties, try new ways of responding, and check what helps in daily life. She supports exploration of attachment and communication patterns, codependency, and issues that arise with ageing and care needs.
Deborah asks clients to set the pace. Conversations are practical and direct. The aim is clear steps that fit the client’s situation and goals, not jargon or long tests.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and what matters most to them. Online sessions using this approach concentrate on listening, reflecting and helping the client make sense of their feelings. It is useful for issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship strain.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes. Sessions look for practical next steps and exceptions to the problem. This approach often helps when someone wants short-term, goal-oriented work for stress, anxiety or sleep problems.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss the client’s needs, goals and preferences and agree what to try. Adjustments are made as work progresses so the style fits the person rather than the other way round.
Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm current options before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting appointments around work and family time, avoiding travel, and using shorter check-ins when that suits the day. Some formats may also be easier when lower bandwidth or no camera is preferred, but check which session types are offered before you schedule.
