Deborah Flett, NCPS

Deborah Flett is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, pluralistic way of working. She brings three years of experience in adult services and focuses on helping people with everyday thoughts and habits that get in the way of daily life.

She commonly supports people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties. She also helps with grief, addiction concerns, sleep problems and work-related struggles. Other areas she attends to include parenting strain, compassion fatigue and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.

Deborah’s style is client-led and collaborative. She uses shared decision making so clients choose the mix of approaches that suits them. Her work draws on humanistic ideas, psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural techniques to meet different needs at different times.

She has worked with people who have experienced emotional and physical abuse, childhood trauma, neurological health challenges and bereavement. Deborah also supports those facing chronic illness, care-related stress, attachment concerns and identity questions linked to adoption and fostering.

Deborah holds NCPS as her listed credential and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are carried out in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule appointments according to the therapist's availability.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Deborah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside a client-centred, pluralistic stance. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical ways to change routines and reactions, often helping with sleep, low mood and worry.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they agree on which methods to try and review progress, adjusting the plan as needed.

Please confirm current session formats before booking as the biography does not list them explicitly. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need sessions that fit a lunchtime or evening slot. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can explain the practical options once the matching questionnaire is complete.
