About Deborah
Deborah Flett is a counsellor who blends practical therapy methods with a warm, person-centred manner. She holds NCPS and has three years' experience working in adult services. Deborah helps people talk through anxiety, depression, grief and relationship strain.
She also supports people coping with career changes, sleep problems, addiction concerns and trauma. Her approach is pluralistic and client-led. She asks what a person wants from therapy and makes shared decisions about how to proceed.
Background and approach
Sessions can include talking, practical activities, and exercises drawn from different approaches depending on the need. Deborah combines elements of client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That means she listens closely to a person's experience, helps spot unhelpful patterns, and looks at how past events can be affecting life now.
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy principles and hypnotherapy techniques where these seem helpful. She has worked with people affected by childhood trauma, abuse, neurological health issues and the stress of caregiving. Deborah is comfortable supporting those dealing with bereavement, self-harm history, attachment concerns and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online in formats that suit different schedules. Deborah aims to create a respectful, sensitive space where people can explore change at a pace that feels right for them.
How Deborah uses different approaches online
Deborah often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy during online work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and acting towards them even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful cycles, useful for sleep problems, worry and low mood.She also uses client-centred principles to keep sessions collaborative and paced to the individual. Finding the right approach is part of the process; the therapist will discuss options and decide together with the client what methods suit their goals, preferences and current situation.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face without travelling, phone sessions are useful when a quieter setup or lower bandwidth is needed, and text or chat can support shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to keep continuity of care when in-person meetings are not convenient.
