About Deborah
Deborah Flett is an NCPS counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of experience in adult services. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, depression and other life changes. She also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, grief, addiction and challenges linked to neurological health issues.
Her practice is person-centred and client-led. She uses a pluralistic approach, which means she draws on different methods as needed and makes decisions with the person in the room. Sessions focus on what a client wants from therapy and on practical ways to move toward those goals.
Deborah combines humanistic ideas with psychodynamic thinking and cognitive-behavioural techniques. She may introduce activities and processes at different points in therapy to help clarify patterns, manage distressing thoughts and build new coping habits. Hypnotherapy is also listed among her approaches and may be used when appropriate.
She has experience supporting people who have faced childhood trauma, physical and emotional abuse, and those living with chronic health or neurological conditions and their families. She has worked with issues such as self-harm, bereavement, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
Deborah describes shared decision making as central to her work. That means she talks with clients about options, explains why she might suggest a particular approach, and adapts the plan based on feedback. People who want a blend of talking therapy and practical techniques may find this helpful.
How Deborah uses therapeutic approaches online
Deborah works from approaches that aim to combine talking and practical exercises. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify values and take actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and persistent guilt. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns and behaviour that keep problems going, and then practising small changes to shift those patterns. She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. Deborah talks with clients about what they want to change and why, and she suggests options based on those goals. Together they review what helps and adapt the plan over time. Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into busy lives and keeping therapy consistent when travel is difficult. If you are considering working with her online, confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. That helps you pick times and setups that suit your day-to-day routine, such as shorter check-ins during a lunch break or longer sessions when you can set aside more time.Areas of expertise
