Deborah Flett, NCPS

Deborah Flett is an adult pluralistic psychotherapist and counsellor who draws on three years of practice in adult services. She works in a collaborative way, inviting people to shape what happens in sessions. Deborah uses a person-centred stance and aims to provide a respectful, sensitive space for people to talk and make changes.

Her approach blends humanistic, psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioural ideas alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and hypnotherapy techniques. She describes therapy as a shared decision process and offers different activities or methods when they may help. This can include talking, reflective exercises and practical steps to try between sessions.

Deborah has supported people facing depression, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She has also worked with clients dealing with bereavement, career challenges, self-harm, and the effects of physical and emotional abuse and childhood trauma. Her background includes supporting people affected by neurological health issues and the relatives around them.

She also helps with concerns such as stress, coping with life changes, addictions, grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, anger and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, ageing and geriatric matters, autism and Asperger Syndrome, body image and chronic pain, illness and disability.

Deborah holds NCPS as her listed credential. She practises from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. If someone is ready to take a step towards change, she encourages a collaborative, person-led process to explore options and goals.

How Deborah's approaches fit with online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful mental habits and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions by focusing on values-led steps rather than only symptom reduction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it can help with low mood, worry and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah uses a collaborative method and will discuss which approaches match someone’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try and review what is helpful as therapy continues.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online or remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs. Benefits can include shorter check-ins when needed, fewer travel demands, and the ability to continue therapy during life changes. Deborah aims to help people make therapy workable for everyday life by adapting methods and pacing to each person’s situation.
