About Deborah
Deborah Ndagire is a Registered Therapist with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has nine years of professional experience. She supports adults facing addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She also addresses issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, codependency, and problems with communication and control.
Deborah uses a psychodynamic psychoanalytic framework to help people understand feelings that lie beneath their day-to-day thoughts. In sessions she helps clients bring unconscious patterns into awareness so they can make clearer choices. She works in plain language and focuses on what shows up between sessions as well as in them.
Her use of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) complements psychodynamic work by helping people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. That mix can be useful when someone wants both insight and practical steps to change how they cope with stress, loss or addictive urges.
Deborah’s practice includes supporting people through separation, bereavement, and the emotional fallout from serious illness, including cancer. She also addresses dissociation and eating or food-related issues when these are part of a person’s wider story. Sessions are offered in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

How Deborah uses CBT and psychodynamic work online
Deborah uses psychodynamic psychoanalytic work to help people notice patterns that run beneath their everyday feelings. That approach focuses on how past relationships and repeated ways of coping shape present emotions and reactions, which can help when someone feels stuck after big life changes or loss.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to translate insight into action. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical steps to test and change unhelpful thinking. This can be useful for managing low mood, anxiety, addictive behaviours and rumination.
Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then suggest whether more psychodynamic exploration or more CBT-based tasks fit the client’s needs. This is a collaborative decision made in sessions rather than a preset plan.
Practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into a busy life and reducing travel time. If you want to proceed, confirm the session formats available before booking, as options are set on a case-by-case basis. Registered or accredited professionals can offer online sessions that make it easier to keep appointments alongside work, caregiving or medical appointments.
