Deborah Ndagire, BACP

Deborah Ndagire helps people who are struggling with addictions, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. She is named up front so readers know who they are considering. Deborah speaks plainly and offers steady support while people talk through difficult feelings.

She draws on nine years of professional experience as a BACP member. That background means she has worked with a wide range of concerns tied to attachment and loss. Common topics she addresses include abandonment, family of origin issues, codependency, and communication problems alongside more clinical concerns such as dissociation and eating or substance-related issues.

Deborah uses an approach that helps bring difficult or hidden feelings into awareness. Sessions focus on understanding patterns that keep problems going and on making practical changes that feel doable. She aims to make the room feel open and non-judgemental so people can speak honestly about painful events.

In therapy with Deborah, clients can expect to look at how past relationships shape present reactions. The work often includes noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of coping. Practical strategies are combined with attention to personal history to help people move forward.

Her practice accepts people from the United Kingdom and internationally. Sessions are offered in English and delivered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.

How CBT can work online and what to expect

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, helps people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is often used for depression, anxiety, addictions, and relationship difficulty by teaching practical skills and simple experiments to test beliefs.

Deborah also combines exploration of past relationship patterns with present-day coping strategies, helping clients see how early attachments affect current reactions. That combination can help with issues such as codependency, abandonment fears, and difficulties with communication.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. She will work collaboratively to decide whether CBT-based techniques, looking back at relationship patterns, or a mix of both best fits the client’s goals and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is helpful. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth or visuals are limited. Live chat and text-based messaging make brief check-ins possible and can fit into busy days. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care when travel or schedules get in the way.
