Deborah Flett
Experienced person-led counsellor
About Deborah
Deborah Flett is a counsellor who draws on client-centred practice and a mix of therapeutic methods to help people make changes in their lives. She holds NCPS and has three years of experience working in adult services across the United Kingdom. Deborah speaks English and focuses on practical support for common and complex difficulties.
She works with people facing stress, anxiety and low mood, and those coping with grief, trauma and abuse.
Background and approach
Relationship and intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, career uncertainty and addiction concerns are also within her focus. Deborah also helps with sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue and ADHD-related challenges. Her way of working is collaborative and person led.
Sessions begin with a conversation about what someone wants from therapy and how they prefer to work. She uses shared decision making to choose methods that suit the person and the moment. Deborah combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking alongside client-centred principles.
She may also use hypnotherapy techniques when appropriate. These approaches are chosen to match practical goals such as managing thoughts, building coping skills or making sense of past experiences. Deborah offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging.
Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How Deborah's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the person to find their own solutions; it helps build confidence and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and teaches practical skills to manage symptoms such as worry or sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah uses a collaborative process to explore what feels most helpful for each person. Together they agree which methods to try and adjust them over time based on progress and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is useful, phone sessions can fit into a short break or need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat suit shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to book around work, caregiving or other commitments and to keep therapy consistent when life is busy.
