About Deborah
BACP. 7 years' experience. Deborah Frost works with grief and loss, relationships, depression, anxiety and a wide range of life challenges including trauma and abuse and concerns linked to autism and parenting.
Deborah sees people aged 11 to 18, adults and couples. She says her counselling is client led and that the client decides the direction of work. Sessions are described as non-judgemental and focused on helping people feel stronger and more content over time.
She holds additional qualifications in depression, trauma, couples counselling, supervision and grief and loss. This background underpins work with sexual and physical abuse survivors, people facing chronic illness and those coping with bereavement or major life change.
In practice she uses an integrated approach. That means she draws on different methods to suit the person in front of her rather than following a single model. She also names a focus on relationship skills and on supporting people with autism and attachment concerns.
Sessions aim to be practical and focused. Deborah says she tailors sessions to help people reach realistic goals and to manage stress, career worries, intimacy issues and self-esteem problems. She also lists coaching and work with compassion fatigue among her offerings.
Weekend and evening appointments are available on request, including Friday evenings and Saturday and Sunday mornings. International clients can be accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.
Therapeutic approaches and remote counselling options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and choices. The counsellor offers attentive listening and reflects what the person brings to help them clarify their thoughts and feelings. It suits people working through grief, relationship questions and self-esteem issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries practical changes in behaviour to relieve anxiety and depression. This approach is often used for stress, panic and low mood.
The counsellor treats finding the right approach as a collaborative task. She will discuss different methods and agree with the client which to try first, based on the person's goals and situation. This means the plan can change over time as the work progresses.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of remote sessions are that they can fit more easily into daily schedules, reduce travel time and make it simpler to have a shorter check-in when days are busy. Remote work can also allow sessions without being on camera if that helps, or let someone choose a quieter setting with less interruption. Registered or accredited professionals including counsellors commonly offer remote options, and Deborah can discuss which will best suit practical needs and therapeutic aims.
