About Deborah
Deborah Ndagire is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with nine years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Sessions are offered in English and Deborah accepts international clients.
Deborah uses a psychodynamic psychoanalytic perspective to help people bring unconscious patterns into awareness. She works with clients to unravel past experiences and increase self-awareness, with the aim of understanding long-standing feelings and repeated patterns. That approach is described in her own words in the original biography.
In practice she listens for recurring themes that show up across relationships and life stages. She talks through how childhood experiences, attachment patterns and family of origin issues might be shaping current behaviour and feelings. This can include work on abandonment, codependency, communication problems, control issues and attachment difficulties.
Sessions also address problems that often overlap with core concerns, such as body image, eating and food-related issues, substance use, dissociation, and the emotional effects of cancer or bereavement. Deborah names practical areas to explore like divorce and separation, coping with disasters, and feelings of emptiness.
The first appointments focus on identifying concerns and making a plan for therapy. Deborah aims to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. She asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking and to schedule an initial session to begin.

How Deborah’s approaches work in online sessions
Deborah lists a psychodynamic psychoanalytic perspective and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) among her approaches. Psychodynamic work focuses on recognising repeated patterns and how past relationships influence present feelings. It aims to help people understand the roots of their reactions by talking through memories, dreams and recurring themes. CBT is more problem-focused and looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It involves identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change them.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Deborah will discuss goals, preferences and the issues you bring and help decide which methods to use. That collaborative process can combine exploration of history with practical exercises when helpful.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example fitting a shorter check-in during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. They also allow people to work with registered or accredited professionals from different locations. Ask for current session options when you book so you know how a session will be scheduled and run.
