About Debra Hayman

Debra Hayman offers a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings and find practical ways to move forward. She is credentialed in the United Kingdom and holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), bringing eight years of professional experience to her practice.

Her work has a strong focus on relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and trauma, and she spent seven years supporting people with drug and alcohol misuse. That experience covered a wide range of related issues including domestic abuse, bullying, anxiety, depression, food-related concerns and other mental health challenges. She adapts therapeutic methods to fit each person rather than using a single approach for everyone.

Debra recognises how daunting the first step of seeking help can be and approaches that step with sensitivity and encouragement. She aims to help clients better understand their feelings, develop different responses to stressful situations and build more satisfying relationships. Her style is supportive and practical, focused on helping people find clearer ways to cope and make meaningful change.

How Debra blends therapeutic approaches for online care

Debra draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the person's perspective guides the work - this approach helps people who need stronger self-understanding and improved relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with stress. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions within relationships and can help couples or individuals address attachment and intimacy-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Debra works collaboratively with each client and with registered professionals as needed to determine which methods fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress is made.

Online therapy with Debra is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit different schedules and life circumstances. These options make it easier to access therapy from different locations, support ongoing work between sessions and accommodate clients who prefer different ways of communicating.
