Deirdre Levins, NCPS

Deirdre Levins is an integrative therapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of one-to-one adult counselling and therapy experience. She holds a first class honors degree in integrative therapy and psychology as well as a diploma in integrative therapy, and she also carries the NCPS credential - a professional counselling credential that indicates formal training and membership in a recognised professional body.

Deirdre works in an integrative way to tailor therapy to each person rather than applying a single method to everyone. Her practice covers a wide range of presenting concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, intimacy-related issues, eating and body image difficulties, anger, career and life changes, and relationship and family challenges.

She draws on evidence-informed approaches to support clients through difficult transitions, build coping skills, and explore deeper patterns related to attachment, abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, and co-dependency. Deirdre offers a bespoke therapy experience that aims to match therapeutic tools to each clientâs goals and preferences, helping people move toward clearer priorities, better emotional regulation, and healthier relationships.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Deirdre uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values, notice unhelpful thoughts, and take practical steps toward meaningful change. ACT can be helpful for issues such as anxiety, depression, and difficulties coping with life transitions.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a non-judgmental, empathetic space where clients lead the pace and direction of their work. This approach supports people dealing with self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and identity-related issues by strengthening self-understanding and personal agency.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Deirdre works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the mix of techniques as progress unfolds. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver these approaches effectively in remote formats.

Online therapy with Deirdre is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care. These options provide flexibility and accessibility while allowing therapeutic work to continue in ways that suit each individual.
