Deirdre Levins, NCPS

Deirdre Levins works with people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy struggles, addiction, eating concerns and grief. She also supports those coping with career pressures, compassion fatigue, self‑esteem problems and life changes. Deirdre's profile lists a wide range of related focus areas, including attachment and abandonment issues, blended family strains, caregiver stress, and communication or control difficulties.

Deirdre takes an integrative approach. She adapts the way she works to each person rather than following one fixed method. Sessions aim to be practical and tailored, with conversation and exercises chosen to suit the person in front of her.

Her training includes a first class honours degree in integrative therapy and psychology, plus a diploma in integrative therapy. The biography also records registration as NCPS, which is presented here as NCPS. She brings eight years of one‑to‑one adult counselling and therapy experience.

In practice Deirdre combines elements from several approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Jungian ideas alongside client‑centred work. This mix is used to match techniques to a person’s needs rather than to label a treatment.

People who choose her can expect a collaborative process. Sessions involve talking through difficulties, learning skills to manage strong feelings, and developing clearer personal goals. Those interested in starting are asked to use the site's Start Therapy button to begin the matching process.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments and skills. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and anger management. Client‑Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session, with the therapist offering empathic listening and reflection to help someone make sense of their feelings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that match a person’s goals and preferences. That choice happens together, and techniques are adjusted as needs change.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find online therapy fits quieter routines or means shorter check‑ins during a busy day. It can make it easier to access a therapist who practises particular approaches and to continue work while managing work, caring duties or travel. Registered or accredited professionals can also adapt tasks and exercises so they suit an online setting, such as worksheets, behavioural experiments and mindfulness practices.
