About Deborah Gallagher
Deborah prioritises learning about each person she works with and holds the view that clients are the experts in their own stories. She looks for existing strengths and resources that can be built on, and believes that small, practical changes often produce meaningful improvements in day-to-day life. Her training in integrative and pluralistic counselling means she draws on a variety of theories and tools, tailoring the work to the needs, situation and goals of each individual.
Sessions may focus on present concerns or explore earlier experiences, depending on what best supports the client. Deborah aims to offer a compassionate, nonjudgemental space where clients feel able to open up and pursue clear therapeutic goals within a productive working relationship.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Work and How They Help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the client’s experience without judgment. It helps people who need a supportive space to explore feelings, build self-awareness, and strengthen self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, emotions and behaviours and offers practical strategies for changing patterns that contribute to anxiety, low mood or unhelpful coping. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and interpersonal patterns shape current feelings and relationships, which can be useful for longer-standing issues such as attachment or repeating relationship difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Deborah works collaboratively with clients and, together with the client, will consider goals, preferences and day-to-day needs to determine which methods to use and how to combine them. This makes the process flexible and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy or geographically dispersed people. Video calls and phone sessions enable real-time conversation and emotional connection, while live chat and text-based messaging provide additional flexibility for those who prefer shorter or more frequent check-ins. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt session formats to fit a client’s schedule and communication style, increasing accessibility and continuity of care.
