About Deborah Marku

Deborah Marku is a United Kingdom qualified therapist with six years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Working from a pluralistic framework, she draws on multiple methods to tailor support to each person rather than using a single fixed model.

Her practice includes helping people manage stress and anxiety, recover from trauma and abuse, and work through eating disorders and related concerns such as obesity. She holds a Master Diploma from the National Centre for Eating Disorders, a postgraduate qualification focused on assessment and treatment of eating and food-related difficulties. Deborah also has experience supporting clients with parenting challenges and with problems related to concentration and memory.

Deborah has worked with neurodivergent presentations including autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, and she frames clients as the experts of their own stories, using their existing strengths as a foundation for change. She recognises that seeking help is a courageous step and offers steady support to people working toward a more fulfilling and happier life.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit for Someone?

People often wonder whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For many common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions - online therapy is comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions and can offer a practical alternative to face-to-face work.

A major benefit is flexibility. Clients can connect with a therapist in the format that best suits their needs and daily routine, choosing from video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to keep continuity of care when schedules, mobility, or location make in-person appointments difficult.

Therapists who offer remote work are licensed professionals, and clients may change therapists if a different fit is needed. For individuals weighing whether online therapy is appropriate, considering convenience, communication preferences, and the nature of the concerns to be addressed can help determine if remote sessions are a suitable choice.
