About Deborah

Deborah Gornall is a warm, friendly and fully qualified therapist, trained in both Person Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She has supported people facing many of life’s challenges, including grief, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship difficulties and obsessive-compulsive concerns, and offers approaches tailored to the issues each person brings.

Deborah works collaboratively with clients to select techniques that match their needs and goals, combining practical strategies and empathetic listening to help people navigate difficult emotions and situations. She brings warmth, empathy and a non-judgemental attitude to every session and aims to provide genuine, caring support throughout the therapeutic process.

She practices in line with the codes of ethics set out by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. Deborah values each person’s uniqueness and believes people have the capacity to make the changes they seek with appropriate support. Recognising that taking the first step toward therapy can feel daunting, she strives to make that beginning as approachable and reassuring as possible.

Client-centered and CBT approaches for online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathic listening, acceptance and support so clients can explore their feelings in their own way. It helps people working through relationship issues, self-esteem concerns, grief and times of change by creating a respectful, non-judgemental space for personal discovery.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through practical strategies and guided exercises. CBT is often used to address anxiety, depression, obsessive thinking, and coping with life transitions by teaching skills to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Deborah works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods align with their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make therapy flexible and accessible for people with busy schedules or those living outside the therapist’s local area. These options allow for continuity of care, easier scheduling and the ability to connect from different locations while working with a registered professional who can tailor approaches to individual circumstances.
