About Deborah
Deborah Ndagire is a Registered Therapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Deborah also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, eating and body image concerns, and family of origin problems.
Deborah works from a psychodynamic psychoanalytic perspective. She helps people notice patterns that come from early relationships and past experiences. Conversations aim to bring unconscious meanings into view so clients can better understand repeated feelings and responses.
Sessions involve talking through present problems and the feelings underneath them. Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside psychodynamic ideas to look at thoughts and actions that keep problems going, then try practical ways to shift them. She combines reflection on past material with present-focused strategies.
Her approach is collaborative and direct. She encourages people to name hard feelings and to track how these show up in relationships and everyday life. That can include working on communication problems, coping with loss, or reducing substance use that has become harmful.
Deborah offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Deborah uses CBT and psychodynamic ideas online
Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thoughts and behaviours that keep guilt and shame active. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in behaviour to reduce distress and improve daily coping. It is often helpful for depression, anxiety, and habits linked to substance use or eating concerns.She also draws on psychodynamic psychoanalytic ideas to look at how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings. That work helps people understand where shame or guilt originated and how it repeats in present relationships and self-view.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Deborah will discuss goals, ask about what has helped or not helped before, and together decide whether to emphasise CBT tasks, reflective psychodynamic work, or both. This is a collaborative process that adapts as progress is made.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Many people find combining reflection with practical CBT tasks works well across remote sessions with registered or accredited professionals.
