About Deirdre
Deirdre Levins is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people dealing with addiction, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and life transitions. Her approach is person-centred and aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable and straightforward.
She trained in integrative therapy and psychology and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Deirdre draws on a mix of approaches so sessions can be tailored to each person's needs. That means practical coping skills alongside space to explore feelings and patterns.
In sessions she uses techniques from cognitive behavioural work and mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and try new responses. She also uses client-centred listening so people feel heard and understood before making changes. Jungian ideas may be used to explore personal meaning when that feels useful.
Deirdre has eight years of one-to-one adult counselling experience across a range of mental health concerns. Her background includes supporting people through loss, bereavement and transitions. She aims for clear, calm sessions that focus on what will help most in everyday life.
People who prefer a flexible, tailored approach may find her style useful. She encourages collaboration on goals and practical steps. For anyone unsure where to start, she helps break issues into small, manageable actions and builds on what already works.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to test new ways of responding, which often helps with stress and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre, offering empathetic listening so people feel understood before practical work begins.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to decide which methods fit best with a person’s goals and preferences. That means plans can be adjusted as progress or new issues emerge.
The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, for example by saving travel time or allowing quicker check-ins during a busy day. It can also make it simpler to access help when grief, caregiving duties or mobility limit going out. If you want to try remote counselling, ask about the session options and how they can be scheduled around your routines.
