About Deon
Deon Whittaker is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to LGBT identity. He also supports people managing anger, depression, bipolar experiences, addiction and parenting stresses.
Deon uses a flexible, person-focused style in sessions. He asks about what matters most to the client and tries different ways of working to find what helps. Early sessions focus on practical goals and on understanding how anger and other strong feelings show up in relationships and daily life.
His approach draws on attachment ideas and client-centred listening to help people notice patterns and make different choices. He also offers methods that work with traumatic memories and deeper symbolic material when needed. Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, with time for thinking and small experiments between meetings.
Deon supports people dealing with shame, guilt, control and codependency, and with complexities around kink and alternative sexual cultures. He pays attention to how past losses, abandonment or attachment wounds can feed anger and resentment.
For someone who wants to manage temper, reduce reactivity, or talk through the fallout of angry episodes, Deon will map out clear next steps. He explains options, checks what the client prefers, and agrees a simple plan for the coming sessions.
How his therapeutic approaches work for online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current responses to stress and anger. Online sessions can use this approach to spot patterns in close relationships and try new ways of responding in everyday life. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, helping them feel heard and decide on small steps to test between sessions. EMDR is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories and bodily reactions; when used it aims to reduce the intensity of those memories and the strong emotions they trigger.Finding the best approach is part of the process. He will discuss different methods with the client, agree priorities and adjust the plan as work progresses. This is a collaborative process that balances what the client wants to change with practical ways to do that work online.
Confirm the session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also lets sessions continue when people are in different locations, and can make it simpler to follow up on practical tasks discussed in a meeting.
