About Deborah
Deborah Frost offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, depression and major life changes. She helps with issues linked to trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, self-esteem, career coaching and compassion fatigue. Deborah also works with LGBT clients and supports those coping with chronic illness, cancer, ageing and attachment-related worries.
Deborah is a BACP counsellor with seven years of experience in the United Kingdom. She uses a blend of approaches and lets the person guide the pace and focus of work.
How Deborah works
Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to help people feel stronger and regain hope. In sessions she adapts tasks and conversations to what each person needs. Techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness may help with anxious thoughts and stress management.
Relationship work can include elements informed by the Gottman Method to improve communication and connection. Deborah also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns that run through their relationships and reactions. She can support people dealing with grief, loss and difficult past experiences in a way that respects their timing and readiness to look back.
Practicalities such as goals, session pace and the mix of short exercises or longer discussion are agreed together. Therapy aims are kept clear so progress can be noticed. Deborah encourages people to take steady steps toward better day-to-day coping and greater emotional balance.

Online support options
How Deborah's approaches translate to online therapy
Deborah commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead so they feel understood and able to explore difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.She also uses elements of the Gottman Method when relationship issues are a focus, helping people learn clearer communication skills and small behavioural changes that improve connection. Each approach is chosen to match the concern at hand and the person's preferences.
Deciding on the right approach is a collaborative process. Deborah will discuss your goals and try different techniques to find what feels most helpful. Together you set clear aims and adjust the plan as you go.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and shared exercises, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
