About Debra
After a series of life-changing events she made a deliberate career change, stepping away from the corporate ladder to complete three years of university study and qualify as a coach and counsellor. During her training she supported colleagues as a mental health champion in a corporate setting and volunteered with a cruise grief service, drawing on her experience as a mentor, coach and employee developer.
She specialises in career and life coaching alongside person-centred counselling and brings practical business insight to her therapeutic work. She is a member of professional bodies including the Association of Coaching, the European Mentoring and Coaching Council, and the BACP. The BACP is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional organisation for counsellors and psychotherapists. Since qualifying she has worked in a counselling and coaching capacity and continues to combine her corporate background with her clinical training.
Practical Therapeutic Approaches for Online Counselling
Debra Basham draws on client-centered therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to support people online. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a trusting, non-judgemental relationship where the therapist listens attentively and helps clients explore their feelings and values - it is useful for personal growth, self-esteem and life transitions. Motivational interviewing is a collaborative way of helping people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, often used for issues such as behaviour change or coping with difficult decisions. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying goals and small practical steps forward, which can be helpful for managing stress, relationships and short-term challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Debra works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts her style so clients feel involved in deciding the direction of their work together.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and travel. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations and to continue progress even when schedules or circumstances change.
