About Deborah
Counsellor Deborah Ndagire is a BACP member with nine years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.
Deborah uses a psychodynamic psychoanalytic approach. She focuses on making unconscious patterns clearer so people can understand recurring feelings and reactions. That can help when someone feels stuck after loss, abuse, or a breakdown in a close relationship.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means looking at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours keep problems going and trying practical steps to change them. Deborah combines understanding of past patterns with present-focused actions in session.
Consultations involve talking through recent difficulties and looking for repeated patterns from the past. Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and give practical ways to cope with cravings, low mood, dissociation or overwhelming grief. She helps people reflect on attachment and family of origin issues that affect their current relationships.
Work with Deborah often covers areas such as abandonment, codependency, communication problems, body image and eating issues. It can also address effects of serious illness, divorce, or coping after natural or human-caused disasters. Short- and longer-term work are both possible depending on what the person wants.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Deborah uses CBT and psychodynamic work online
Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and then try manageable changes. CBT is practical and can help with depression, anxiety, cravings and some relationship problems.She also draws on psychodynamic psychoanalytic ideas to look at repeated emotional patterns that come from past relationships and family of origin issues. That work focuses on increasing self-awareness and understanding deeper feelings that affect current choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss goals and preferences and decide together whether more CBT tasks or more psychodynamic reflection is best for each person. The approach can change as needs change.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which sessions are offered before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to reach people who live further away or who need a flexible arrangement.
