About Deborah
Deborah Ndagire is a counsellor who helps people facing addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She uses practical talking therapy to help people untangle difficult feelings and make small changes that matter. Deborah has nine years of professional experience and works in the United Kingdom.
Her sessions focus on understanding how past experiences affect current behaviour. She listens for patterns such as attachment or codependency that keep people stuck. Conversations aim to increase self-awareness and make hidden feelings easier to name and work through.
Deborah uses straightforward, goal-focused techniques alongside reflective discussion. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, forms part of how she helps people notice thoughts and try different ways of responding. Sessions balance practical strategies with time to talk about deeper emotions.
The counsellor often supports people dealing with family of origin issues, abandonment, control struggles and communication problems. She also addresses body image, eating concerns, substance use and the emotional impact of cancer or separation. Each plan is shaped around the person in front of her.
People who choose Deborah can expect a calm, non-judgemental space to talk. She encourages clear steps and small experiments between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then book times that suit them.
How Deborah uses CBT and talking therapy online
Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new ways of responding to stress, anxiety and depressive moods.She also offers open, exploratory talking work that focuses on how past relationships and childhood experiences shape present behaviour. This approach helps people make sense of patterns like attachment difficulties or codependency and choose different ways to cope.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Deborah will work with each person to agree goals and try methods that suit their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts the plan as progress and new priorities emerge.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to use short check-ins when life is busy.
