About Deborah
Deborah Flett is an adult psychotherapist and counsellor who uses a person-centred, pluralistic style. She works in a shared decision-making way and focuses on what each person needs from therapy. Deborah holds NCPS as a credential and has three years' experience in adult services in the United Kingdom.
She helps people with common worries like anxiety, depression and stress. She also supports those dealing with relationship strains, career challenges, grief and issues around self-esteem. Her background includes work with people who have experienced physical and emotional abuse, childhood trauma, neurological health issues and addiction-related concerns.
Deborah combines humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural ideas in her sessions. She uses different processes and activities depending on what each person prefers. Sessions are led by the client's goals and choices, with the therapist offering options and discussing what might help most.
She also addresses practical life strains such as parenting pressures, caregiver stress, chronic illness and sleep problems. Additional focus areas listed include adoption and foster care, attachment and abandonment issues, and challenges around body image and intimacy.
Deborah aims to treat people with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She invites clients to discuss what they want from therapy and to take small steps towards the changes they hope to make. If someone is ready to begin, she offers supportive guidance through that process.
Approaches that guide online therapy
The therapist uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and focus on actions that matter to them. ACT is often useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions.Client-Centred Therapy is another key element, where sessions are guided by the person's experience and values; the therapist offers empathy and listening while the client leads the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical steps to change behaviours and feelings, which can help with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help choose methods that fit each person's needs. This is a collaborative process and may change as sessions progress.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. It can also be useful when quieter surroundings or lower visual demand are preferred, depending on what suits the client best.
