Deborah Frost, BACP

Deborah Frost is a UK-based, BACP-credentialed counsellor with seven years of experience who specialises in grief and loss. She works with young people aged 11 to 18, adults, and couples, and has additional qualifications in depression, trauma, couples counselling, supervision, and bereavement work. Her practice includes relationship counselling, support for survivors of abuse, and tailored approaches for people on the autism spectrum.

Deborah uses an integrated, client-led approach that puts each person’s choices and goals at the centre of therapy. She brings a warm, non-judgemental presence to sessions and aims to help clients feel stronger and more able to pursue a happier life. Sessions are adapted to individual needs so that therapeutic work remains focused and practical.

Seeking change takes courage, and Deborah frames her role as one of support and empowerment for those ready to take that step. She offers flexible appointment times, including Friday evenings and weekend mornings by request, and welcomes the opportunity to work with new clients both in the UK and internationally.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Deborah draws on client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the individual's goals and preferences guide the work; this approach emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting people to find their own solutions, which is helpful for grief, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviors; CBT is practical and goal-oriented and can be particularly useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

For couples, Deborah can incorporate elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and strengthen relationship skills through structured exercises and shared goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Deborah works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust the work as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging let clients fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These options increase accessibility for people in different locations and make it simpler to maintain continuity of support with licensed professionals and therapists when schedules or circumstances change.
