About Deirdre
Deirdre Levins is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship and intimacy concerns. She also supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, eating and body image worries, low self-esteem and compassion fatigue. Deirdre’s work includes coaching around career change and coping with life transitions.
Deirdre uses a tailored approach rather than one fixed method. She blends techniques to fit the person in front of her, drawing on evidence-based models and exploratory work.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and focused on everyday coping skills as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going. Her background includes eight years of one-to-one adult counselling and therapy. She holds NCPS credentials and completed a first class honours degree in integrative therapy and psychology, plus a diploma in integrative therapy.
That training underpins a broad toolkit for different concerns. In sessions Deirdre aims to be straightforward and calm. She helps people spot small changes that make daily life easier.
She also works on longer term issues such as abandonment, attachment and blended family concerns when these come up. People come to her for help with anger, communication struggles, codependency and commitment worries. She also offers support for carers facing stress, for those affected by domestic violence, and for complex combinations of issues where several problems exist at once.
Deirdre speaks English and meets people online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. She accepts international clients and focuses on matching her approach to each person’s needs and goals.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses your goals and preferences and together you try methods that match your needs. Therapy can change over time if something isn’t working, and the process is collaborative rather than fixed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make attendance easier around work and family life. Video calls let you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats give flexibility so people can fit therapy into a busy week and keep momentum between meetings.
