About Deborah
Deborah Flett is a counsellor who uses a pluralistic, person-centred approach. She combines practical talking therapies so people can pick what helps most. Deborah aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for people to begin making changes.
She has three years' experience working in adult services. During that time she has supported people with depression, anxiety and relationship challenges. She has also worked with those facing career difficulties, grief, self-harm, neurological health issues and effects of physical and emotional abuse.
Her way of working places the client at the centre of decisions. Sessions are guided by what the person wants to achieve. Deborah uses a mix of humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural ideas, and will draw on different methods at different times to suit the person.
She also offers techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and brief hypnotherapy where these fit a client's goals. Conversations focus on practical steps, values-based goals and making sense of patterns that hold people back. The aim is to help people find clearer choices and steadier coping.
Deborah works with common issues such as stress, self-esteem, family and parenting strains, addiction-related concerns, codependency and challenges linked to chronic health problems. She emphasises shared decision-making so each plan is tailored to the person in front of her.
Approaches used online and how they help
Deborah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as part of her practice. ACT focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values even when feelings are difficult; it can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Client-Centred Therapy means sessions centre on the person's experience, with the counsellor providing respect, empathy and support to help people clarify what they want. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest methods likely to help. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as therapy progresses so the approach fits the individual's needs.
The profile does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins on a lunch break. Others use sessions to work through practical exercises and thought records between meetings. The counsellor will discuss what format best supports your goals when you start.
