Desta "Dee" Davies-Boothe uses a person-centred approach to help people find practical ways to feel steadier. She encourages straightforward conversation and works at the client’s pace. Dee keeps sessions respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on what each person needs right now.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Narrative therapy helps people reframe their life story and see new possibilities. Mindfulness and existential ideas support people who want to sit with difficult feelings and find personal meaning.

Background and approach

Dee has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She has supported people concerned about stress, anxiety, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps those coping with major life changes or relationship worries.

Work in sessions is practical and conversational. Dee will tailor conversations and plans to match someone’s goals and day-to-day life. That can mean short strategies for managing stress, experiments to shift thinking, or longer talks about identity and purpose.

People who choose to work with Dee can expect an emphasis on respect and sensitivity. She aims to empower clients to build confidence and better coping. The focus is always on small, achievable steps toward a more settled life.

Practical approaches for online sessions

Dee uses Client-Centred Therapy to make sessions collaborative and focused on what matters most to the client. This approach means the conversation follows the person’s priorities and pace, which can help with low mood, self-esteem and coping with change.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT gives clear, practical steps to try between sessions for issues like anxiety, stress and anger management.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dee will discuss goals and try methods together to see what fits best. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that matches the client’s needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions are useful for more in-depth conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be an easier option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text can suit shorter updates, reflections between sessions, or people who prefer writing to speaking.

These options offer flexibility for different schedules and lifestyles, and they make it easier to maintain continuity of care when life is busy or plans change.
