About Desta
Desta "Dee" Davies-Boothe is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship strain, low motivation and depressive feelings.
Dee keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people map out practical next steps. That may include looking at thought patterns, experimenting with different behaviours, or noticing how values shape choices.
Her approach draws on client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and elements of mindfulness and narrative practice. In plain terms that means she focuses on the person in front of her, explores how thinking and actions link, and uses present-moment awareness and story work to shift unhelpful patterns.
Dee has also worked with issues such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, body image, and communication or control problems. She names these areas so people can see common threads in their difficulties and spot which patterns recur.
Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the individual. Dee will work with clients to set goals, try new skills between sessions, and review what is and isn’t helping. The focus is on manageable change rather than quick fixes.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dee uses client-centred work which means sessions focus on the person’s experience and priorities. This approach helps when someone wants practical, conversational support for anger, stress or relationship strain.She also draws on cognitive behavioural methods that look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT-style tools can help with spotting triggers, testing different responses and reducing snapping or build-up of resentment. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment noticing and calm reactivity in the body and mind.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dee will discuss goals, try different methods and adjust the plan based on what helps. That collaborative process lets clients test skills in day-to-day life and bring back what works and what does not.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work around a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote appointments help them practise new skills between meetings and keep therapy consistent with everyday life.
