Deborah Espie

Deborah Espie is a warm, down-to-earth, trauma-informed therapist who aims to help people feel seen, heard, and supported. She offers a compassionate, non-judgemental space where people can explore what is happening for them at a comfortable pace and in their own way.

With 8 years of clinical experience, Deborah works with adults and young people managing concerns such as trauma, anxiety, low mood, grief, relationship difficulties and life transitions. She also has specialist experience supporting neurodivergent individuals and brings insight gained from senior clinical and academic roles to her therapeutic work.

Her approach is client-centred and integrative, tailoring the work to each person’s needs and drawing on evidence-based methods like CBT and mindfulness, all grounded in empathy and authenticity. Deborah is trained and experienced in both online and telephone therapy, so clients can expect a consistent, supportive space whether meeting by voice or on screen. When appropriate, she may incorporate creative tools such as imagery, metaphor or reflective exercises to aid expression and healing beyond words.

Deborah supports people in developing sustainable self-care, resilience, balance and self-compassion as part of recovery. Please note - she does not keep diary appointments open on this system in order to avoid diary clashes. If you think you might work well together, contact her via the platform to agree a session time and she will then add it to the BH platform.
