Deborah Ndagire, BACP

Deborah Ndagire is a BACP counsellor with nine years of professional experience. She supports people facing addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Her approach is grounded in helping clients notice recurring patterns and make clearer choices about their lives.

Deborah combines a psychodynamic psychoanalytic perspective with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, depending on what each person needs. Sessions focus on noticing thoughts, feelings and behaviours and linking them to past experiences. This helps people understand where difficult reactions come from and how to change them.

She aims to make sessions calm and non-judgemental. People are encouraged to speak at their own pace about painful memories, confusing emotions or stuck patterns. Deborah listens closely and offers reflections that make things feel clearer and more manageable.

Practical tools are used alongside deeper exploration. That might include simple thought-monitoring or behaviour experiments to test new ways of responding. The mix of insight and hands-on techniques helps people cope with immediate problems while also working on longer-term change.

Deborah works in the United Kingdom and offers therapy in English. If you are considering therapy, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to her availability.

How Deborah uses talk therapies online and in practice

Deborah works with psychodynamic psychoanalytic ideas and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Psychodynamic psychoanalytic work helps people notice unconscious patterns and links between past experiences and current feelings. It is useful for understanding long-standing issues like attachment wounds or repeated relationship problems.

CBT focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and try small behavioural changes, which can help with depression, anxiety and addiction-related behaviours.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Deborah discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts the mix of exploration and practical tools accordingly. She encourages clients to raise concerns about pace, focus or techniques so the work fits their needs.

The original biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use both exploratory sessions and CBT exercises effectively through remote sessions when appropriate.
