About Deon
Deon Whittaker is a counsellor registered with NCPS in the United Kingdom with 8 years of professional experience. He works with people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and abuse, and issues related to LGBT concerns. He also supports clients facing depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD and anger-related difficulties.
Deon uses a flexible style in sessions. He takes time to learn what the person needs and will discuss what approaches might be most useful in the first meeting. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer understanding rather than quick fixes. Conversations are straightforward and grounded in everyday language.
His practice draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape reactions. He also offers client-centred work that prioritises the person’s perspective, and may use EMDR where trauma memories are a core concern. Jungian and existential ideas can be used to explore meaning and identity when that feels relevant.
People often come for help with anger, relationship communication, or the fallout from traumatic events. Deon aims to help people notice patterns, try different ways of responding, and set realistic next steps that fit daily life. He encourages honest feedback about what is and isn’t working.
Sessions are delivered from the United Kingdom and are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients follow the online matching and scheduling process.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches are used online
Deon draws on attachment-based and client-centred work to help people understand how relationships and personal needs shape their reactions. Attachment-based therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how these show up as anger or withdrawal. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience and preferences, letting the therapist follow the client’s pace and concerns.EMDR is also part of his toolkit when trauma memories are a central issue. EMDR uses guided attention to reduce the intensity of distressing memories, which can help when past events feed current anger. These approaches are explained and discussed together so the client and therapist decide what feels most useful.
Finding the right approach is something to try together. He will assess needs, talk about goals, and adapt methods if something isn’t helping. That collaborative stance means adjustments can be made as work progresses.
