About Deborah
Counsellor Deborah Flett is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has three years' experience working in adult services in the United Kingdom. She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, bereavement, career challenges and trauma. She also supports people dealing with addictions, sleep problems, parenting strain and compassion fatigue.
Deborah uses a person-centred, pluralistic way of working. That means she talks with clients about what they want from counselling and chooses methods together. She draws on client-centred listening alongside psychodynamic ideas and cognitive behavioural tools to address thoughts, feelings and patterns.
Sessions often use practical exercises alongside talking. Deborah may introduce behavioural tasks, reflective questions or short therapeutic activities when these suit the aim of the work. She explains options and helps people decide what to try next.
She has experience supporting people who have faced childhood abuse, physical or emotional harm, neurological health issues and bereavement. She also works with people affected by attachment and adoption concerns, chronic illness, caregiving stress and body image struggles.
Deborah’s approach is collaborative and straightforward. Initial sessions focus on what is most pressing and on simple, manageable steps. Over time the focus can shift to understanding patterns, building coping skills and improving daily routines.
How Deborah uses different therapies in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them. It uses gentle exercises to build willingness to act in line with values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and the person's own pace of change. The counsellor offers reflective listening and questions so the client can make sense of their experience and decide next steps. This approach suits people who want to be heard and to shape their work together.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical techniques and small experiments to reduce unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day coping with mood, sleep and worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah discusses options with each person and agrees methods together based on needs, goals and preferences. The plan can change as the work progresses so clients can try different ways of working.
