About Deborah
Deborah Flett is an NCPS counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of experience in adult services. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression and relationship difficulties, and also supports those dealing with trauma, grief and life changes.
She uses a person-centred, pluralistic approach that keeps the client in charge of decisions. That means she offers different ways of working and chooses methods together with the person in the room. Sessions focus on what the client wants to achieve and on practical steps to get there.
Deborah draws on cognitive-behavioural ideas to look at thinking patterns and on psychodynamic ideas to understand longstanding feelings and relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) principles and client-centred ways of listening are part of how she helps people notice values and take small steps forward. Hypnotherapy is also listed among her approaches and may be used when appropriate.
She has supported adults with a wide range of concerns including addictions, self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep problems, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Deborah has experience helping people affected by abuse, childhood trauma, serious illness and neurological health issues, and she has worked with carers and family members in those situations.
Her work is straightforward and collaborative. New clients are invited to say what they want from therapy and to be involved in choosing methods. Sessions aim to be practical, clear and focused on manageable change.
How Deborah uses different therapies online
Deborah draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters to them and take small committed actions, even when anxiety or fear is present. ACT focuses on values and practical behavioural steps rather than trying to remove every uncomfortable thought.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain anxiety and stress. CBT involves clear exercises and small experiments to test out new ways of thinking and acting. Client-Centred work is part of her approach, which means she keeps the conversation focused on the client’s priorities and preferences.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Deborah will discuss goals and options with the client and agree on methods together. That collaborative decision making is used to adapt sessions as needs change.
The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Online meetings can make it easier to schedule regular check-ins, fit therapy around work or caregiving, and try short focused sessions when a brief check-in is helpful.
