Deirdre Levins , NCPS

Deirdre Levins is an integrative therapist with eight years of one-to-one adult counselling and therapy experience. She holds a first class honours degree in integrative therapy and psychology as well as a diploma in integrative therapy, and she also carries the NCPS credential, a recognised professional counselling qualification. Her training and clinical background support a flexible approach that adapts to each person's needs rather than applying a single method to everyone.

Deirdre has worked with a broad range of mental health concerns, including managing depression, anxiety, anger, grief, loss and bereavement. As an integrative practitioner she combines techniques and perspectives to create a tailored plan, matching therapeutic tools to the individual's situation, preferences and goals. Her practice emphasises a personalised experience that respects each client as an individual and seeks practical pathways for coping and growth.

Clients can expect a thoughtful, evidence-informed framework delivered with professional care. Deirdre aims to provide a supportive environment where people can explore challenges, develop new skills and work toward meaningful change at a comfortable pace.

Integrative approaches and online therapy options

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify their values and take committed steps toward a meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms like depression and anxiety and to build practical coping skills. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the centre of the process, emphasising empathy, active listening and the client’s own capacity for growth; it supports self-esteem, bereavement and relational concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey. Deirdre works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds to ensure the best possible fit.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, to access support from different locations and to choose a communication style that feels most comfortable. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver focused, consistent care that aligns with a client’s schedule and therapeutic goals.
