Deborah NdagireBACP

Deborah Ndagire is a counsellor who helps people dealing with addictions, relationships, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She draws on nine years of professional experience and uses a thoughtful, reflective style to help people understand what they are feeling. She aims to make sessions straightforward and compassionate so people can take the first steps towards change.

Her work focuses on uncovering patterns that shape current struggles. She uses discussion and reflection to help clients bring unconscious reactions into clearer view. This often makes everyday choices and relationships easier to manage.

Deborah also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of responding. CBT is used alongside reflective work to give practical steps that can be tried between sessions.

Her practice covers a broad range of concerns such as abandonment and attachment issues, body image, codependency, communication problems, control issues, dissociation, and family of origin matters. She also offers support for people coping with bereavement, separation, eating and food-related issues, and drug and alcohol addiction.

Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. Deborah works with people who want a collaborative space to talk, understand patterns, and try clearer ways of coping. The approach is steady and person-centred, with attention to what matters most to each individual.

How Deborah uses CBT and reflective work online

Deborah combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and reflective psychodynamic ideas to help people with current problems and deeper patterns. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to see what helps. It can be useful for issues such as depression, anxiety, eating concerns and kinds of addiction.

Reflective work looks at recurring themes and early relationships that shape reactions today. This kind of talking helps people understand why they feel stuck and can reduce repeated painful patterns over time. Together these approaches offer both immediate strategies and longer-term insight.

Finding the right mix is part of the work. Deborah will talk with clients about goals and preferences and decide collaboratively which methods to try. She adjusts the balance of practical exercises and reflective conversation to fit each person's needs.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, avoid travel time and keep to a regular schedule. Shorter check-ins or sessions outside standard office hours are sometimes easier to arrange online, which helps work around childcare, appointments or shifts.
