About Debby

Debby Kirby is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She also supports people facing trauma and abuse, intimacy and relationship difficulties, eating or sleeping problems, parenting strain and ADHD-related challenges. Debby lists Narcissism among the areas she works with and offers care to people navigating life changes and compassion fatigue.

Debby brings four years of experience and holds the NCPS credential, which is shown as NCPS in her profile. She describes a background shaped by work with many cultures and by her practice as an artist. She uses creative tools such as poetry, visualisation and painting with clients when appropriate.

Her style is personable and steady. Debby emphasises listening, being seen and heard, and tailoring sessions to each person. She names inner child work as a core skill and identifies work with childhood sexual abuse, historic sexual abuse, domestic violence, attachment issues and complex grief among her focus areas.

Sessions aim to build rapport and understanding first, then tackle specific goals. Debby frames conversations to suit each person and adapts approaches as needed. She mentions video support online as something many clients have found helpful for forming a therapeutic connection.

Debby works from the United Kingdom and provides services in English. She accepts international clients and asks people to use the Start Therapy button to begin the process of matching and scheduling.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Debby integrates conversational therapy with creative methods to help people make sense of difficult experiences. She highlights inner child work as a practical way to revisit early hurts and build kinder self-relating; this work can help with attachment wounds, low self-esteem and long-standing patterns of self-blame.

She also uses creative therapeutic tools such as poetry, visualisation and painting to open new ways of expressing feelings. These approaches can suit people who find words alone limiting and can help when grief, trauma or dissociation make direct discussion hard.

Finding the best approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. Plans can change over time as progress is made and new topics emerge.

Many people appreciate online sessions for the way they fit into busy lives. The biography references video support as a helpful way to build rapport, but prospective clients should confirm the exact session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to attend regular appointments, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time so therapy fits around work or family commitments.

Before you get in touch

Therapists listed here offer talking therapy online. A profile is not a diagnosis of you or of anyone in your life, and no therapist can promise how a relationship will turn out.

If you are in danger, or someone is hurting or threatening you, contact emergency services or a domestic-abuse helpline. The numbers are at the foot of this page.
