About Deborah
Counsellor (BACP), eight years' experience. Deborah Dalley helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, life changes and compassion fatigue. She works from humanistic and person-centred principles and uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness in her sessions.
Deborah describes counselling as collaborative. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and listens for strengths that can be used to move forward. Conversations focus on what feels important now and on practical steps the client can try between sessions.
Her style is described in humanistic terms where the client’s perspective guides the work. Sessions can include mindfulness practices, values-based exercises from ACT and exploration of attachment patterns where relevant. Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques are used to help people notice and name feelings and relationship patterns that matter to them.
Deborah has practised for eight years and holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works with adults on a range of life and relationship issues including abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiver stress, communication problems and separation.
She offers counselling in English and accepts clients internationally. Fees vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.

How Deborah uses different approaches in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and practise small actions that reflect those values. It is often used for stress, anxiety and life changes where taking valued steps matters more than eliminating every uncomfortable feeling.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current connections. This approach helps people notice how past attachment experiences shape reactions and communication in present relationships.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm. It is commonly used alongside other approaches to help with anxiety, stress and managing difficult feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah treats this as a collaborative process and will help decide which methods fit best based on the client’s goals, needs and preferences. Sessions often mix elements from different approaches rather than sticking to a single method.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors, commonly use online sessions to keep therapy practical and accessible while working with clients across different locations.
