About Desta
Dee has three years of professional experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has helped people facing life changes and low motivation, and she tailors discussions and plans to individual circumstances. The focus is on small, achievable steps rather than quick fixes.
Her work draws on client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and patterns. Narrative and mindfulness practices are also used to help people notice their thinking and build new ways of coping. This mix is chosen to suit each person rather than following a single path.
Dee can work with a wide range of concerns including relationships, communication problems, body image and caregiver stress, plus issues connected to adoption and attachment. She speaks English and is based in the United Kingdom, and accepts international clients.
People who meet Dee can expect a collaborative conversation about goals and next steps. She aims to empower clients to make changes at a pace that feels manageable, offering practical strategies and steady support throughout the process.
Approaches that translate well to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building understanding through open, non-judgemental conversation. It helps people clarify what matters to them and find their own solutions when coping with stress, relationship worries or low confidence.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and managing anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods that fit the client's needs. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to maintain continuity of care across locations. Please confirm the available session formats before booking so they suit your routine. The aim is to make therapy manageable and practical so people can use what they learn in everyday life.
