About Deborah
Deborah Gray is a counsellor who helps people who are struggling with sleep, stress and everyday pressures. She frames sessions so people can talk about anxiety, depression, relationship strain or grief in plain language. Deborah is BACP registered and brings ten years of experience to conversations about feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Her style is warm and human-centred. She listens with empathy and aims to be interactive rather than directive. That means conversations focus on what matters to the individual and practical next steps they feel ready to try.
Deborah combines several approaches to suit each person’s needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed ideas and emotionally-focused work. This mix is used to help with worries, controlling strong emotions, and changing patterns that keep recurring.
In sessions she often helps people notice what they value, test small changes, and practise skills that reduce distress. For relationship and attachment concerns she pays attention to how past experiences shape current reactions. For sleep difficulties she looks at routines, unhelpful thoughts and manageable behaviour changes that support better rest.
She is based in Kentucky and offers work in English. Deborah aims to work collaboratively so people leave with clearer options and small, achievable steps they can try between sessions.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Deborah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-informed work. ACT helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions despite difficult thoughts or feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current responses and can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She will help tailor sessions so techniques match the issues being addressed and the pace the person feels comfortable with.
