About Deborah
Deborah Jackson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 11 years' experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed and who are struggling with low self-worth, relationship strain, disrupted sleep, or repeated patterns that leave them drained. Deborah also lists codependency among the issues she focuses on. She welcomes straightforward conversations about what feels hard now and what small changes might help.
Her style is person-centred, which means she starts by listening to how clients see their own problems. Together they identify what keeps those patterns in place. She then uses solution-focused ideas to try practical steps that can bring quick relief and clearer direction.
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person. Deborah helps people name upsetting thoughts, practise clearer ways of asking for what they need, and test out new behaviours in everyday life. She pays particular attention to stress, anxiety, grief, addiction-related concerns and relationship or family stresses.
Clients can expect to talk through sleep disruption, low mood, anger and confusion in plain language, and to work towards practical ways to reduce overwhelm. Deborah also supports people wrestling with life transitions such as separation, caring roles, or changes linked to ageing.
Her approach combines acceptance of how someone has coped so far with concrete steps to change unhelpful patterns. The emphasis is on collaboration and on helping people notice small shifts that build a steadier daily routine.
How sessions work
How Deborah uses person-centred and solution-focused work online
Deborah uses a person-centred approach that begins with listening to how someone describes their problems. That style focuses on understanding what has helped or hurt in the past and on offering acceptance while working through current difficulties.She also uses solution-focused techniques which concentrate on small practical steps and short-term goals. This helps when someone wants clearer next actions for issues like sleep disruption, overwhelm, relationship tension or addictive patterns.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Deborah will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to use. The process is collaborative and may change as progress is made.

In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits can help someone try different approaches without major disruption to daily life.
