Deborah Flett, NCPS

Deborah Flett is an adult pluralistic psychotherapist and counsellor. She has three years of experience working in adult services and supports people through a wide range of life difficulties.

Her work is person centred and client led. Sessions start with a conversation about what the client wants to achieve. Together they choose approaches and activities that feel useful in the moment.

Deborah combines humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural ideas. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and hypnotherapy when these suit a person's goals. The focus is practical - helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief and life changes.

She has worked with people affected by abuse, childhood trauma, neurological health issues and caring responsibilities. She also supports those dealing with stress, addiction, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and issues around intimacy.

Deborah aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She encourages shared decision making so therapy feels collaborative. If someone is ready to make a change, she offers steady support through that process.

How Deborah’s approaches translate to online therapy

Deborah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, and then take steps that match their values. That approach often suits people facing anxiety, low mood or life transitions.

She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy, offering a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try different coping strategies for problems like sleep issues or panic.

Finding the right method is part of the work. Deborah collaborates with each person to decide which approach fits their goals, preferences and the issues they bring. She adapts methods as therapy progresses rather than sticking to one fixed plan.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can be a useful way to continue steady support while balancing work, caring or health commitments.
