About Deborah
Deborah Mantuano is a counsellor with 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She helps people who are wrestling with stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship worries and parenting challenges. She also supports those facing grief, trauma, anger and career-related strain.
Deborah believes people already hold strengths that can guide change, and she offers steady support while clients take the first steps towards a different life. Her style is respectful and down-to-earth.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps that fit everyday life. Deborah encourages clients to set small, realistic goals and notices progress as they build skills and confidence. She brings experience with end-of-life and hospice conversations, and aims to be sensitive to cultural differences.
That experience informs how she talks through difficult decisions and heavy emotions in a measured way. The multicultural focus helps her keep conversations relevant to each person’s background. Therapy with Deborah typically involves exploring what matters most to the client, identifying unhelpful patterns, and trying new ways of coping.
She balances practical techniques with empathetic listening. Over time this approach helps people manage emotions and make clearer choices. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Fees vary by location and availability and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Practical approaches and online sessions that fit family life
Deborah uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional coping. One approach emphasises building everyday coping skills and simple routines to reduce stress and manage anxiety; it helps people break problems into small, doable steps. Another approach centres on exploring loss and grief in a paced way that makes strong emotions easier to tolerate and talk about; this can help with bereavement and end-of-life conversations.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah listens to each person's goals, preferences and current challenges, then suggests ways of working that suit their situation. That collaborative process means methods can be adapted as progress is made or needs change.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit busy family lives and varied routines. Video allows face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are simple when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging let people reflect in writing and fit sessions around childcare, work breaks or different time zones. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and maintain momentum between sessions.
