About Debra

Debra Maxwell works with people on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and major life changes, using person-centred counselling to help them talk through difficult feelings. She is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has 18 years of professional experience.

She focuses on helping people understand their emotions and perspectives. Sessions are led by the client’s concerns and pace, with the counsellor offering listening, reflection and gentle challenge where helpful. Practical coping strategies may be discussed alongside talking things through.

Debra commonly supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, depression and bipolar mood concerns. She also works with stress from work, compassion fatigue and the pressures of caregiving.

Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, dissociation, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, self-harm, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife transitions. She also offers support around cancer, life purpose and workplace problems.

Her style draws mainly on Client-Centred Therapy, with other interventions and tools brought in when they match a person’s needs. International clients may be accepted and sessions are carried out in English.

Sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time and the cost varies with location. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the Talk to a counsellor online button.

Working online with Client-Centred therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and respect for the person’s own perspective. The counsellor offers an accepting, non-directive way of working that helps people talk through emotions, build self-understanding and consider new choices. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns.

Debra may also use other tools and interventions alongside Client-Centred Therapy when they seem useful. Deciding which approach to use is a shared process; the counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree what fits their goals and preferences.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel and allow check-ins from different places. Some formats can be shorter or use less bandwidth, which helps when time or internet connection is limited. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt timing and approach to suit practical needs and personal preferences.
