About Deborah

Deborah Ndagire is a BACP counsellor who helps people facing addiction, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She speaks English and works from the United Kingdom, supporting international clients too. Deborah aims to make it easier to talk about painful experiences and to find clearer ways forward.

She draws on nine years of professional experience to guide conversations about what has happened and how it still affects daily life. Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and to try small, practical changes. Sessions focus on understanding feelings and building coping steps that can be used between meetings.

People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where they are asked about their history and current struggles. Deborah listens for patterns connected to attachment, abandonment, family of origin, and control or communication problems. She also helps with issues such as body image, eating difficulties, substance use, dissociation, and the emotional impact of illness or bereavement.

Her approach balances exploring past experiences with working on present-day skills. That means sometimes talking about early relationships and sometimes practicing different ways to respond now. The aim is practical progress rather than quick fixes, with support paced to each person's needs.

To begin, people follow the site process to match and arrange sessions. Deborah uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, with fees varying by location and therapist availability.

How Deborah uses CBT for online support

Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to try practical alternatives. CBT sessions often involve setting small tasks, testing new ways of responding, and reviewing what helped. This approach can be useful for problems such as depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and some forms of addiction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before. Together the client and therapist decide whether CBT alone is suitable or whether time spent understanding past patterns should be blended into the plan. The process is collaborative and adjusted as progress is made.

For practicalities, the biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, reduce travel time, and allow more flexible scheduling. It can also support steady progress through regular check-ins and tasks that can be practised between sessions.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
