Deborah Flett is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, pluralistic style to help people make practical changes. She combines different therapeutic ways of working and involves clients in shared decision making about what will help most. Deborah emphasises respect, sensitivity and compassion in every session.

She has three years' experience working in adult services across the United Kingdom. During that time she has supported people facing anxiety, depression and relationship problems.

Background and approach

She has also worked with those managing grief, addiction, career changes and sleep difficulties. Deborah has experience supporting people who have lived through physical or emotional abuse and childhood trauma. She has worked with clients affected by neurological health issues and their family members.

Her additional areas of focus include ADHD, attachment and adoption or foster care concerns. Her practice draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and psychodynamic ideas, alongside hypnotherapy and client-centred ways of working. She will discuss different methods and choose what fits each person’s needs.

In sessions Deborah helps people talk through immediate problems and plan small steps forward. She encourages practical coping strategies for stress and anger, and gentle exploration of painful memories when that feels right. The aim is to help people feel steadier and more able to manage life’s challenges.

Deborah invites people to take the first step by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session. She works via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online support

Deborah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, clarify what matters to them, and take small committed steps towards those values. It can help with stress, anxiety and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns, which can ease low mood, worry and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Deborah works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She discusses options openly and adapts techniques as needs change, so the plan evolves with the client rather than being fixed from the start.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps; phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or want brief, ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to access therapy around work, childcare or mobility limits while keeping the focus on practical, goal-led support.
