Deborah Ndagire

Deborah Ndagire is a counsellor with nine years of experience who helps people facing addiction, relationship strain, trauma and loss. She also supports people dealing with depression and with concerns around eating and body image. Deborah aims to create a calm space where people can speak openly and feel heard.

She describes her work as helping bring hidden feelings into view so they can be understood. Sessions focus on uncovering patterns from earlier life and how these affect present choices and relationships. That exploration is paired with practical steps to help people change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

Deborah uses a psychodynamic approach alongside techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She blends talking about past experiences with clearer plans to manage symptoms day to day. This combination is intended to increase self-awareness while giving tools for coping and decision making.

She has worked with people affected by abandonment, attachment difficulties, codependency, communication problems and control issues. She also offers support for those facing cancer, grief after loss, dissociation, and separation. Deborah aims to meet each person where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable.

Sessions are delivered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and with international clients. Deborah is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and brings nine years of clinical practice to her clients.

How Deborah uses talking therapy and CBT online

Deborah draws on psychodynamic exploration alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Psychodynamic work focuses on understanding how past relationships and early experiences shape current feelings and patterns. This helps people see repeated dynamics and why they make certain choices.

CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It provides clear strategies to manage symptoms like low mood, anxiety, compulsive behaviours and problems with eating or body image. Exercises and plans can be used between sessions to practise new ways of coping.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Deborah will work with each person to decide whether deeper exploration, practical CBT techniques, or a blend of both best matches their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the specific session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel, and keep continuity when people live far from a counsellor. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when schedules demand a brief session rather than a full appointment.
