Deborah Flett

Deborah Flett is a counsellor who uses a person-centred, pluralistic approach. She brings three years of experience working in adult services and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression and anger. Deborah speaks plainly and works with each person to decide what they need from therapy.

Her style is client-led and collaborative. She mixes humanistic ideas with psychodynamic listening and cognitive-behavioural techniques when these fit a person's goals. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and hypnotherapy principles where appropriate, and explains options so people can choose together.

Deborah has supported people coping with relationship strain, bereavement, career problems and trauma. She has experience with issues such as addiction, grief, sleep problems and compassion fatigue. The biography also notes work with people affected by neurological health issues and the stresses felt by their families.

In sessions she uses simple tools and shared decision making. That can mean talking through patterns, trying short practical exercises, or using reflective techniques to understand emotional responses. Deborah aims to help people find clearer ways to cope and to move towards the changes they want.

She works from the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English. If someone is ready to start, Deborah guides them through the initial steps and supports them as they take the first steps toward change.

How Deborah's approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and changing them through practical exercises and small behaviour changes; it often helps with anxiety, sleep and anger management. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and building a supportive relationship, helping people feel heard while they work through emotional concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and suggest methods that seem most helpful. This is a collaborative process that can change as needs shift during therapy.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video useful for face-to-face discussion, while others prefer phone sessions for lower bandwidth or a quicker practical catch-up. Deborah will help match the format to what works best for the person's life and therapeutic aims.
