Deborah Ndagire, BACP

Deborah Ndagire is a counsellor who helps people facing addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She brings a calm, patient manner to sessions and focuses on helping clients make sense of painful experiences. Deborah uses conversation and reflection to support people who want to feel more in control and less overwhelmed.

With nine years of experience, Deborah works from a psychodynamic psychoanalytic perspective alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She helps people notice repeated patterns, understand buried feelings, and test practical ways to change thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are steady and exploratory, with an aim to improve self-awareness and reduce distress.

Clients can expect a non-judgemental space where feelings and memories are spoken about openly. Deborah pays attention to early relationships and how they affect current responses in close ties. She also uses CBT techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build coping skills for day-to-day life.

Her practice covers a wide range of concerns beyond the main issues, including attachment and abandonment worries, body image and eating-related problems, codependency, communication and control issues, dissociation, and responses to cancer or major loss. She supports people working through divorce or family of origin issues as well.

Deborah holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) registration and practises in the United Kingdom. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, clients use the platform Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Deborah blends reflection and practical work online

Deborah uses psychodynamic psychoanalytic ideas to help people notice and name hidden feelings. This work looks at past relationships and repeated patterns to make sense of current struggles and emotional pain.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tackle specific thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thinking, testing it, and trying small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.

Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Deborah will talk with each person about their needs and goals, and they will try methods that suit those aims. The process is collaborative and may shift as understanding grows.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments around work or family commitments and to use short check-ins when needed. Because the original biography does not list specific formats, please confirm the available session types before booking so arrangements match your day-to-day needs.
