About Deirdre
Deirdre Levins is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and other life challenges. She works one-to-one with adults to address concerns such as addictions, grief, self-esteem struggles and compassion fatigue. Deirdre is known for a steady, practical manner and for tailoring sessions to each person's needs.
She trained in integrative therapy and holds a first class honours degree in integrative therapy and psychology plus a diploma in integrative therapy.
Background and approach
Deirdre has eight years of experience working with a wide range of mental health issues, including anger, bereavement and trauma-related difficulties. In sessions she mixes approaches to match what the client needs. That can mean focusing on present-day thinking and behaviour, exploring personal values, or using reflective listening to help someone feel heard.
The work is collaborative and paced to the individual. Deirdre often helps people tackle practical problems such as communication breakdowns, workplace stress and relationship tensions. She also supports those coping with adoption and foster care matters, attachment and blended family concerns.
Clients leave with clearer next steps and tools they can use between sessions. Clients meet with her via phone, video, live chat or text-based messaging. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
The structure and frequency of meetings are set together at the start of therapy.

Online support
She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods over time. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for feeling face-to-face, while phone sessions suit those who prefer not to use video or have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflections or when a shorter, more frequent touchpoint fits into a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and travel.
