About Deborah

Deborah Flett is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years' experience working in adult services. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, relationship problems, career worries and grief. Her caseload has also included those recovering from abuse, childhood trauma and neurological health issues and their families.

Deborah uses a person-centred, pluralistic way of working. That means she listens first and helps people choose the methods that suit them. Conversations focus on what the person wants from therapy and how best to get there.

Her approach draws on client-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural methods. She may use different activities and processes at different stages, agreed together with the client. Sessions are led by the person's needs rather than a fixed format.

Deborah has experience supporting people with addiction, compassion fatigue, sleep problems, anger and intimacy-related issues. She also works with people dealing with adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment concerns, chronic illness and codependency.

People who see her can expect straightforward conversations about goals and options. Deborah asks clients what matters to them and offers practical techniques alongside reflective discussion. This helps people manage immediate problems while examining patterns that keep them stuck.

How Deborah’s approaches work for online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that fit those values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes where people want practical steps to move forward.

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of sessions. The counsellor listens without directing, and the work usually involves reflecting on feelings, clarifying priorities and choosing next steps together.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches specific techniques to change them. It suits issues like anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deborah will discuss options and agree a plan with the client based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision making helps shape which techniques are used and when to try different methods.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so check which options are currently offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, work and short breaks, and some approaches translate well to shorter check-ins or telephone conversations when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly adapt activities so therapy fits everyday life rather than requiring long journeys.
