Deborah Ndagire, BACP

Deborah Ndagire is a counsellor who helps people dealing with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She uses clear, practical conversations to help clients make sense of painful patterns and everyday thoughts and habits. Deborah speaks English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Deborah has nine years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on a psychodynamic, psychoanalytic perspective to look at long-standing feelings and repeated patterns. In sessions she helps clients notice how past experiences shape current thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

Sessions focus on increasing self-awareness and understanding how difficult feelings began. Deborah helps people talk through painful memories, cope with loss, and examine behaviours linked to addiction or relationship difficulties. She aims to make complex ideas clear and useful in day-to-day life.

Her style is supportive and direct. She works with people to set small practical goals and to test new ways of thinking and acting between sessions. Deborah explains techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, where relevant, to help change unhelpful thought patterns.

People can expect steady, patient work that balances listening with practical steps. To begin, readers should confirm current session options and scheduling before booking.

How Deborah uses CBT and psychodynamic ideas online

Deborah combines psychodynamic thinking with ideas from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Psychodynamic work looks for patterns that come from past relationships and early experiences, helping people understand why they react in certain ways. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and small behaviours that keep problems going, which can help with low mood, anxiety and addictive behaviours.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah aims to understand each person's needs and to agree on methods together. She will discuss whether more focus on thinking and habits or on deeper patterns is the best next step, and review progress over time in collaboration with the client.

Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or full-length sessions for deeper work. The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the current online and in-person options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals, including Deborah, can adapt techniques for remote meetings to help people manage everyday thoughts and habits more effectively.
