About Debra Basham

Debra Basham transitioned from a long corporate career into professional coaching and counselling after a series of life-changing events prompted a change in direction. She spent more than twenty years in business, during which she received recognition such as inclusion in Insider Business Magazine's Inaugural Women of Influence in 2015 and a European Call Centre Award for work supporting and developing staff. Her career included international roles in locations such as America, India and Australia, and she was acknowledged for her mentoring and coaching of colleagues at senior levels.

Following three years of university study, she qualified as a coach and counsellor with a specialism in career and life coaching and person-centred counselling. During her training she also served as a mental health champion within a corporate setting and volunteered offering grief support on cruise lines. She is a member of the Association of coaching and the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, and she holds membership of the BACP (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy), which recognises professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy. Debra brings this blend of corporate experience, coaching expertise and person-centred practice to support people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, grief, self-esteem, trauma and life transitions, among other difficulties.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support



Debra draws on client-centred therapy, which places the person at the heart of the process and focuses on understanding experience from the client’s perspective - this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, exploring relationships and navigating life changes. She also uses motivational interviewing, a collaborative conversational style aimed at helping people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own reasons for change - this can be effective for career decisions, coping strategies and behaviour change. Solution-focused therapy is another tool she uses, concentrating on strengths and practical steps to move forward quickly and clearly when clients want targeted help with specific problems.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. Debra works collaboratively with each person to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and she adapts methods so the therapeutic plan fits the individual’s needs and circumstances.

Online therapy with Debra is offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and locations. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during work or family commitments and to access support from wherever a client is located, while working with registered professionals and therapists who guide the process.
