About Desta

Desta "Dee" Davies-Boothe draws on a person-centred approach to help people through difficult times. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, anger and self-esteem. Dee supports people facing life changes and moments that feel overwhelming.

Dee holds BACP accreditation and has three years of professional counselling experience in the United Kingdom. She combines Client-Centred Therapy with cognitive and narrative techniques to tailor sessions to each person. That means conversations focus on what matters to you and on practical steps you can try between meetings.

Sessions often start by identifying the immediate problem and what you want to change. Dee uses simple cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thoughts and to test different ways of coping. She also invites reflection on meaning and personal values when that feels useful.

This counsellor has worked with people dealing with relationship strain, caregiving stress, adoption and attachment concerns, ageing issues, and responses to trauma or disaster. She also supports those struggling with body image, codependency, commitment worries and communication problems.

Dee aims to offer a respectful, compassionate space and adapts her style to each person. She encourages small, doable steps and helps people track progress. If you want to explore whether her way of working fits your needs, use the site’s Start Therapy flow to begin the match process.

How Dee's therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting you to find your own solutions. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection so you can talk through what matters and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour; it helps with anxiety, low mood and anger by teaching practical ways to change unhelpful habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. That conversation helps shape the mix of person-centred listening, CBT techniques or narrative reflection used in sessions.

Because the biography does not list session formats, confirm the available online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins, sessions without video when that suits you, and fewer delays from commuting. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises so they work well in remote sessions, and the focus remains on practical steps and steady progress rather than on labels.
