Deborah Flett, NCPS

Deborah Flett is a person-centered, pluralistic psychotherapist and counsellor with three years of experience working in adult services. She brings a collaborative, client-led style to her practice, inviting people to take part in shared decision-making about which methods and activities will best support their goals. Holding the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification, she combines humanistic, psychodynamic, and cognitive-behavioural principles as appropriate for each individual.

Deborah has supported clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-harm, bereavement, career challenges, and neurological health issues affecting clients and their families. She has also worked with people who have experienced physical and emotional abuse and childhood trauma, offering steady, empathetic support as they explore healing and change.

Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and she talks with clients about what they want from therapy and how they might most effectively reach those aims. Deborah frames the therapeutic process as a partnership - she helps people identify practical steps and therapeutic processes to try, while remaining responsive to what works for each person. Seeking a more fulfilling life can take courage, and Deborah aims to support and empower clients as they take those first steps toward meaningful change.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, and then take value-driven actions that move life in a meaningful direction. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental space where the client leads the conversation and the therapist offers understanding and reflection. This approach supports self-exploration and builds confidence in finding personal solutions to relationship, grief, or self-esteem concerns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, offers practical strategies to identify and shift thinking patterns and behaviours that contribute to depression, worry, or sleep problems. It is often used alongside other approaches to address day-to-day challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Deborah will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This shared process helps tailor sessions to what proves most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when to meet - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules or to access support from home. For many people, remote sessions make regular, consistent work in therapy more achievable while maintaining a strong working relationship with a registered professional.
