About Deborah
Deborah Ndagire helps people dealing with addictions, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She introduces a steady, reflective presence and encourages people to talk about painful experiences in plain terms. Deborah speaks calmly and aims to make it easier to take the first step towards change.
Deborah trained as a therapist and holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has nine years of professional experience supporting people through hard times.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, avoidant personality patterns and family of origin concerns. In sessions she focuses on understanding how past events shape current choices and feelings. She invites people to notice patterns and to try different ways of thinking and behaving.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is part of the approach she uses to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new responses. Deborah also works with eating and body image worries, codependency, communication problems, control issues and the emotional impact of cancer. She supports people coping with dissociation, divorce and separation, drug and alcohol addiction, and the emptiness that can follow loss.
Her way of working mixes reflection with practical steps. People can expect a calm, non-judgemental conversation and support to build skills for facing triggers and managing difficult emotions.

Approaches Deborah lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
She also brings a reflective, exploratory approach that looks at how past experiences shape current feelings and choices. This helps people understand deeper patterns such as attachment issues, abandonment fears and family of origin concerns. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; the therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful before trying different methods.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give more flexibility. Video calls suit longer, face-to-face conversations while phone sessions work well for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief updates, ongoing support between sessions, or when someone needs to work without being on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel or caring responsibilities while still keeping focus on progress and practical tools.
