About Deborah
Deborah Frost is a counsellor who focuses on grief and loss, anxiety and stress, and relationship difficulties. She draws on seven years of experience and the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) registration to offer thoughtful, person-centred support. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to help people feel stronger and more able to cope with life’s challenges.
Deborah uses an integrated, client-led method so people set the pace and goals for therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions are tailored to what each person needs, whether that means working through bereavement, managing anxiety, or addressing issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people with trauma, depression, parenting concerns, career stress and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes therapies such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness approaches and psychodynamic ideas.
Deborah also draws on relationship work influenced by the Gottman Method when appropriate for relational concerns. This mix helps her adapt to different problems and personal styles. Deborah has additional training relevant to grief, trauma and couples counselling and has experience supporting people affected by abuse and by autism spectrum differences.
She works with individuals and couples and brings a steady, compassionate presence to each session. People looking for practical coping skills and clearer ways to manage emotions often find her straightforward, collaborative style helpful. She aims to empower clients so they can make the changes they want in everyday life.
Approaches used in online counselling and what they do
Deborah commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and elements of the Gottman Method when working with relationship issues. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people space to talk while the counsellor offers empathy and support to help them find their own solutions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and teaches practical skills to change them, which is useful for anxiety and low mood. The Gottman-influenced work concentrates on communication and managing conflict in relationships, offering clear strategies for partners to improve connection.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deborah will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time and checks in regularly to make sure the work feels helpful and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and more in-depth discussion. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, immediate coping strategies and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life.
