Deirdre Levins, NCPS

Deirdre Levins brings over seven years of one-to-one adult counselling and therapy experience to her practice, working with people across a range of life challenges. She trained extensively in integrative therapy and psychology, earning a first class honors degree in integrative therapy and psychology and a diploma in integrative therapy, qualifications that support a flexible, evidence-informed approach.

Deirdre works as an integrative therapist to create a bespoke therapeutic experience for each client. She draws on multiple methods so the work can be tailored to the individual rather than applying a single technique to every situation. Her clinical experience includes supporting people through depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, loss and bereavement, among other concerns.

Clients can expect a respectful, person-focused approach that recognises individual differences and life contexts. Deirdre also holds the NCPS credential, a professional counselling qualification that reflects her training and commitment to ongoing development. She aims to help clients build practical skills and personal insight in ways that fit their values and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and take practical steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and problems that revolve around avoidance. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the relationship between therapist and client, offering empathic listening and support to foster self-exploration and personal growth - this approach suits people seeking a non-directive, respectful space to work through concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, addresses unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns by teaching concrete skills for managing mood, anxiety, and related symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Deirdre works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work over time to ensure the best fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to connect with licensed professionals from different locations, while preserving the continuity and effectiveness of regular sessions.
