Deborah Flett

Deborah Flett is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, pluralistic style to help people work through difficult times. She brings three years of experience in adult therapeutic services and aims to create a respectful and compassionate space. Deborah holds NCPS as a credential and conducts sessions in English in the United Kingdom.

Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people manage relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, career stress and grief. Intimacy concerns, addictions, sleep problems and coping with life changes are part of her regular caseload.

Deborah also supports people facing trauma and abuse, physical health challenges, and neurodiverse needs such as autism and ADHD. She has experience helping those affected by abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, chronic illness and caregiver strain. Practical concerns such as communication problems, codependency and anger are included in her work.

Her approach mixes client-centred listening with techniques from cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic ideas. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and hypnotherapy when these are helpful. Sessions follow a shared decision process so the person and counsellor decide together what to try.

Deborah emphasises clear goals and small, achievable steps. She encourages people to name what they want from therapy and checks in about progress. If someone is ready to begin, she supports them as they take those first steps towards change.

Approaches to help you online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and to focus on actions that reflect what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and empathy so the person leads the pace and focus of their work.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Deborah will work collaboratively to find what fits best for the person's goals, needs and preferences. That may mean trying different techniques across sessions and checking in to see what helps.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week, avoiding travel time and making it easier to attend from different locations. If you prefer particular session arrangements, confirm the available formats before booking so you know what to expect. The therapist and client can then plan timings and ways of working that suit everyday life.
