About Deborah

Deborah Flett is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience in adult services. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, depression and career uncertainty. She also supports those coping with grief, trauma, addiction and parenting challenges.

Deborah uses a pluralistic, client-led approach rooted in client-centred practice. She asks what the person wants from therapy and helps them choose the methods that fit. That can include short conversational work, structured tasks or reflective exercises depending on the need.

Her work combines humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural ideas. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and CBT techniques when helpful. Hypnotherapy is also part of the range she may offer as an option.

Deborah has experience supporting people affected by childhood trauma, physical and emotional abuse, neurological health changes and the stress faced by their families. She has worked with clients presenting self-harm, bereavement and intimacy-related difficulties.

In sessions she focuses on shared decision making. She explains options, listens to what matters and adapts the process as therapy progresses. This approach aims to keep the work practical and connected to everyday life.

People who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships or health often look to her for help clarifying what comes next. She asks questions, tests out methods and stays guided by the client’s goals.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress and decisions about life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to shift them. CBT can help with sleep problems, low mood and managing day-to-day symptoms.

Deborah treats finding the right approach as a collaborative step. She talks through the methods, checks what a person prefers and adapts the plan as sessions continue. That way the work stays aligned with the client’s needs, goals and life circumstances.

The practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make short check-ins easier and allow flexibility around work or care responsibilities. The biography does not list specific formats, so confirm the available session options before booking to see which will suit your routine.
