About Deborah
Deborah Flett is a counsellor who draws on a person-centred, pluralistic approach. She makes therapy collaborative and practical. Her way of working aims to help people make small, steady changes that fit their lives.
She has three years of experience working in adult services across the United Kingdom. That work has included supporting people with anxiety, depression, grief and relationship concerns. She has also helped clients affected by trauma, abuse, neurological health issues and the stresses that come with caring for others.
Background and approach
Sessions begin with a conversation about what the person wants from therapy. Deborah uses shared decision making to choose tools and techniques together. She mixes humanistic listening, psychodynamic reflection and cognitive-behavioural ideas depending on what will help in the moment.
Her practice pays attention to everyday pressures such as work stress, parenting strain and sleep problems. She also supports people facing identity and attachment difficulties, body image worries, addiction-related problems and life changes like adoption or bereavement. Deborah works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred methods, CBT and hypnotherapy where appropriate.
She emphasises respect, sensitivity and practical steps people can try between sessions. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes. People who choose her often value clear choices about treatment and a calm space to talk through difficult experiences.
If someone wants help sorting priorities, managing emotions or rebuilding after loss, Deborah offers steady support and practical direction.

Therapeutic approaches and online support for parenting concerns
Deborah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred therapy in her online work. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values, which can help when parenting feels overwhelming. Client-centred therapy centres on listening and empathy so a person can feel heard and sort out what matters most to them.She also draws on cognitive-behavioural therapy to spot patterns in thoughts and behaviours and try small experiments between sessions. That approach can help with anxiety, sleep problems and managing strong emotions. Finding the right mix is part of the work - the therapist and client decide together which approaches to try based on goals and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer sessions and face-to-face conversation, phone works well for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging can suit quick updates or people who prefer typed conversation. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting schedules and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
