About Deborah
Deborah Ndagire is a Registered Therapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience. She helps people who are struggling with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Deborah also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, codependency and family of origin concerns.
She combines talking work with a focus on how past experiences shape present feelings. Sessions aim to bring hidden or automatic patterns into awareness so people can choose differently. That usually means looking at repeated relationship patterns, reactions to loss, and ways people cope when life feels out of control.
Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside deeper psychodynamic thinking to link thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT is used to spot unhelpful thinking and to try practical changes. Psychodynamic ideas are used to trace where patterns began and how they keep running now.
In sessions she listens for repeated themes such as people-pleasing, trouble saying no, clinging to or avoiding relationships, and patterns around substance use. Conversations look at concrete situations and then at the feelings underneath them. Practical steps and reflection happen together.
She works in English and accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and sessions run through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled via the See online therapy options button.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Deborah uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in straightforward ways to notice patterns of thinking that keep problems going. CBT helps with depression, anxiety, unhelpful coping like substance use, and practical steps to change everyday reactions.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people who keep repeating the same relationship habits or who feel stuck in roles like people-pleasing or avoidance. It focuses on understanding where those patterns began and how they repeat now.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus more on practical CBT exercises or on exploring deeper patterns, and this can change over time.

Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit around work and family life, allow a shorter check-in if needed, and remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can work with clients across locations, and Deborah accepts international clients, helping people arrange sessions that slot into everyday routines.
