About Deborah

Deborah Flett is an adult pluralistic psychotherapist and counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship difficulties. She brings three years of experience in adult services and uses a client-led, person-centred way of working. Deborah is listed with NCPS and offers a respectful, compassionate space for people to begin change.

Her practice often focuses on coping with life changes, career pressures, grief and addiction concerns. She has supported people who have experienced physical and emotional abuse, childhood trauma and neurological health challenges. She also helps with sleep difficulties, intimacy-related issues, anger and compassion fatigue.

Deborah combines humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches in a pluralistic framework. Sessions are collaborative - she talks with clients about goals and uses different methods at different times. Activities and processes are chosen together so the work matches each person’s needs.

She also works with people dealing with parenting stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness and long-term conditions. Additional areas she addresses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, communication and codependency. Deborah aims to support people to feel more empowered and capable in daily life.

Her style is warm and practical. She encourages shared decision making and focuses on what clients want from therapy. Those ready to take a first step can expect straightforward conversations about how to move towards their goals.

How Deborah's approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on personal values and meaningful action. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress to build flexible ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going, and supports practical steps to change unhelpful habits and improve mood and sleep. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's experience, giving space to be heard and to lead the pace of change, which can help with relationship issues and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah uses a collaborative process to decide which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She discusses options and adapts techniques as the work progresses, so the plan matches what the client needs at each stage.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats offered before booking. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss scheduling and format preferences during the initial matching steps so sessions can be arranged to suit everyday life.
