Debra Basham, BACP

Debra Basham is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional practice. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, self-esteem issues, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, workplace problems and life transitions. Sessions are practical and focused on what clients want to change in day-to-day life.

Before moving into counselling, she spent over two decades in business roles worldwide. That background informs how she supports people with career questions, workplace stress and the pressure of busy lives. She knows what it is to juggle high-demand jobs and personal expectations.

Her approach draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person in front of her. She also uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change, and solution-focused techniques to identify small, workable steps forward. These methods are applied in straightforward, goal-orientated conversations.

Debra has experience as a coach and mentor and has worked in corporate mental health roles. She volunteered with a cruise grief support service during her training. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP.

People often come to her wanting concrete ways to manage anger, reduce workplace stress, or rebuild after separation and loss. She offers calm, practical guidance and a focus on what can change now. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
