Deborah Pell, BACP

Deborah Pell is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She brings six years of practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns. Deborah also supports those facing eating issues, grief, self-esteem struggles and life transitions.

Her style is warm and respectful. She aims to make sessions feel safe and non-judgemental so people can speak openly. Deborah focuses on small, practical steps that can make everyday life easier.

Deborah works with adults and adolescents and draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her work. She has experience supporting people with attachment and abandonment issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, and difficulties around intimacy and commitment. She also includes support for ageing and geriatric issues as part of her practice.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Deborah uses a collaborative approach - she listens first, then tailors a plan to suit each person’s goals and situation. Her aim is to help people build coping skills and stronger day-to-day routines.

People who want to begin can expect a straightforward intake and a focus on realistic, achievable change. Deborah encourages clients to set small goals and reviews progress together as therapy continues.

How Deborah uses therapeutic techniques in online sessions

Deborah draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide her online work. She blends approaches that focus on understanding patterns in relationships and on practical coping skills, helping people reduce anxiety and improve mood. These methods are useful for worries about stress, grief, body image and changes tied to ageing.

She also uses short, skills-based strategies that help with everyday problems. These often include learning new ways to manage strong emotions, building routines that support sleep and activity, and practising communication skills for difficult conversations. These techniques suit people wanting concrete tools as well as those wanting to reflect on past experiences.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Deborah works collaboratively to decide what will help most based on a person’s needs, goals and preferences. She will adapt techniques over time and check in regularly to see what is working.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life, avoiding travel, and having shorter check-ins when schedules are tight.
