Deborah Flett, NCPS

Deborah Flett is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, pluralistic approach. She draws on several methods to help people find what works for them and supports them through change. Deborah holds an NCPS credential and has three years of experience working in adult services in the United Kingdom.

Her work focuses on practical conversation and shared decision making. She asks what the person wants from therapy and then uses different processes and activities to help reach those goals. Sessions are guided by respect, sensitivity and compassion rather than a fixed formula.

Deborah has helped people with many concerns including depression, anxiety and relationship issues. She has supported those coping with bereavement, career challenges and neurological health changes. She also works with people who have experienced physical and emotional abuse and childhood trauma.

Her approach mixes humanistic ideas, psychodynamic thinking and cognitive-behavioural tools. She may introduce exercises, reflective discussion or short activities when these suit the person’s aims. Decisions about methods are made together during therapy.

Deborah also addresses a wide range of areas such as caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, ageing and geriatric issues, adoption and foster care, attachment concerns and codependency. She aims to help people build clearer coping strategies and more manageable daily routines.

How Deborah's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, while moving towards a life that matters to them. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with major life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics. This approach supports people who want a listening space to process grief, trauma or relationship stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, sleeping problems and low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose methods that fit the person’s needs. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what feels most useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy lives, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also gives flexibility to use different activities or exercises that suit day-to-day routines.
