Deborah Flett, NCPS

Deborah Flett, NCPS (a professional credential), is an adult pluralistic psychotherapist and counsellor who brings three years of experience working in adult services. She has supported people facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-harm, bereavement, career challenges, and the impacts of neurological health issues on individuals and their families. She has also worked with many people who have experienced physical and emotional abuse and childhood trauma.

Her practice is person-centred and client-led, grounded in a pluralistic philosophy that draws on multiple therapeutic techniques as needed. Deborah engages clients in shared decision making, selecting processes and activities together so that therapy aligns with each person’s priorities and pace. She combines humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural principles to tailor interventions to individual needs.

Deborah approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, inviting open conversation about what clients want from therapy and how they might most effectively move toward those goals. She encourages people to view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative space for exploring change, building resilience, and developing practical coping strategies.

Seeking a more fulfilling life can take courage, and Deborah offers support and empowerment to those ready to take that step. She looks forward to working alongside clients as they pursue meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches for flexible online support

Deborah integrates several evidence-informed approaches to meet different needs. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship and helping people explore their feelings and values at their own pace - it is well suited to issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours into more adaptive ones. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and practical problem-solving.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking meaningful action. ACT can be useful when someone wants to increase psychological flexibility and live in line with what matters to them.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Deborah works collaboratively with clients - and with input from registered professionals when helpful - to decide which methods best match a person’s goals, circumstances, and preferences. This shared process helps tailor the work as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexible scheduling and easier access from home or work. Deborah provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to choose the format that fits their life while maintaining continuity of care and regular therapeutic progress.
