About Deborah
Deborah Ndagire is a Registered Therapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience. She supports people dealing with addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her work often touches on issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and body image concerns.
Deborah combines a psycho-dynamic psychoanalytic perspective with approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She helps people bring patterns that feel automatic into awareness. Sessions focus on understanding past experiences that shape current responses and on practical steps to manage distressing thoughts and behaviours.
In conversation she encourages straightforward talk about difficult topics. She aims to help clients name emotional reactions, notice repeating patterns and try new ways of responding. That might include talking through a recent loss, tracing how an early relationship affects current attachments, or practising ways to interrupt negative thinking.
Deborah works in English and can work with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. Her approach mixes exploration of deeper feelings with clearer, action-focused techniques from CBT when useful. She asks people to be curious about connections between past and present experience while also testing practical coping strategies.
People starting with her follow a simple process to match to a first session. If someone wants to know more, Deborah invites a short initial conversation to clarify goals and the practical arrangements for ongoing sessions.
How Deborah combines CBT and psycho-dynamic work online
Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practise different responses. CBT is practical and skill-based, and it can be useful for depression, anxiety and behaviour change such as addressing addictions.She also draws on psycho-dynamic psychoanalytic ideas to help people notice repeating patterns that come from earlier relationships. That approach focuses on increasing awareness of deeper feelings and how past experiences affect current reactions.
Finding the right mix of ways to work is part of the process. Deborah will discuss goals and preferences with each person and decide together which methods to try. That conversation guides whether sessions focus more on exploring history or on active skills practice.

Many people find online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, to schedule brief check-ins around work, or to choose a session style that suits quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth needs. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt sessions to what a person needs, and Deborah will discuss practical arrangements when arranging a first meeting.
