About Debra

Debra Hayman offers a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where people can explore difficult feelings and relationship challenges. With a focus on helping individuals make sense of their responses to others, she believes talking therapies play a central role for many who feel isolated or overwhelmed by life changes. She highlights that while medication can be useful for some, psychotherapy helps people understand and shift patterns of thought and behaviour that affect daily life.

Credentialed in the United Kingdom and holding BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - Debra brings eight years of professional experience to her work. She specialises in relationship difficulties, low self-esteem and trauma, and has seven years of experience supporting people with drug and alcohol misuse. Over the course of her career she has also worked with issues such as domestic abuse, bullying, anxiety, depression and eating-related concerns.

Debra adapts her therapeutic approach to suit each person she sees, drawing on established methods to address the presenting issues. She recognises that reaching out for support can feel daunting and encourages people to take that first step toward change. Her practice emphasises practical understanding, emotional support and collaborative work aimed at improving how people relate to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Debra Hayman uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where a person’s own goals and values guide the work; this approach helps with self-esteem, relationship difficulties and coping with life transitions. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a practical, skills-based method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another key approach she uses to explore patterns in close relationships and to support people in creating more secure emotional connections.



Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Debra works collaboratively to identify what fits each individual’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore which methods feel most helpful and adapt the work as progress unfolds.



Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone for a face-to-face feel, or through live chat and text-based messaging when that is more convenient. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, caregiving or travel commitments and to continue therapy even when life circumstances change.
