Debra Hayman, BACP

Debra Hayman is a UK-based therapist credentialed with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and brings eight years of professional experience to her practice. She creates a compassionate listening space where people can explore difficult feelings and relationship challenges without fear of judgement, believing that talking therapies remain a vital support as many people face isolation and strain in their lives.

Her clinical focus includes relationship issues, low self-esteem and trauma, and she has seven years of specialist experience working with drug and alcohol misuse. That work has addressed a wide range of related difficulties such as domestic abuse, bullying, anxiety, depression, eating and food-related concerns, and other mental health challenges. In addition to those areas, her practice covers stress, addictions, grief, family and intimacy-related issues, parenting, anger, career concerns, bipolar and depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue among other focal areas.

Debra tailors her approach to each person, drawing on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Existential Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She provides therapy in English and works with both domestic and international clients. Recognizing how hard it can be to begin, she encourages those ready to seek support to take that first step toward meaningful change.
