About Deirdre
Deirdre Levins is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and self-esteem struggles. She supports those coping with grief, trauma, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and body-image concerns, career worries and major life changes. Deirdre also offers coaching around communication, boundaries and commitment issues.
She uses a tailored, person-focused way of working. Sessions are built around what the individual needs, not a single method. Conversation, practical exercises and reflective work are used to uncover patterns and try different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Deirdre draws on Jungian therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. She also works in a client-centred style to keep the relationship warm and collaborative. This mix helps address emotions, behaviours and the stories people tell about themselves.
Her background includes a first class honours degree in integrative therapy and psychology, plus a diploma in integrative therapy. The NCPS credential appears with her name as a professional marker. Deirdre has eight years of experience working one-to-one with adults.
Typical early sessions focus on what brought someone to therapy and what they hope to change. Later sessions may include practical skills, written reflections, guided mindfulness and deeper exploration of personal themes. Deirdre aims to adapt the pace and tools to each person's situation.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Deirdre combines Jungian therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in a way that honours personal meaning and practical change. Jungian therapy looks at personal themes, symbols and life stories to help people make sense of recurring patterns and deepen self-understanding. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to accept difficult feelings while committing to values-based action, which helps with anxiety, depression and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will talk through preferences, goals and what feels most useful, then try approaches collaboratively. That may mean focusing on practical coping skills one week and reflective, symbolic work another week, depending on what helps the client make progress.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or fit around a busy day when camera time is not possible. Messaging and chat let people reflect between sessions or use brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping the focus on consistent, meaningful progress.
