About Debby
Debby Kirby NCPS is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She helps people who are carrying stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and problems with self-esteem. She also supports people dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strains, sleep and eating problems, and challenges such as ADHD, bipolar and depression.
Debby writes from a multicultural perspective and brings creative methods into sessions. She uses art, poetry and visualisation alongside talk. Many clients have found video sessions useful for building a connection before continuing their work together.
Her practice includes work with historic sexual abuse, domestic violence, attachment difficulties and complex grief. She also mentions inner child work as a core skill and addresses issues such as abandonment, codependency and body image. Debby notes experience with menopause-related concerns as they relate to grief and intimacy.
Sessions are described as personalised conversations where practical steps are explored. She aims to listen, reflect and offer techniques that people can try between sessions. The focus is on clear, manageable ways to reduce the burden of persistent guilt, shame or self-blame while addressing related symptoms like anxiety or sleep disruption.
People who choose Debby often combine verbal therapy with creative exercises. If someone prefers working with visual or poetic tools, she can include those methods during sessions. Before booking, readers should confirm the current session formats and practical arrangements.
Therapeutic approaches and how online work fits them
The biography highlights inner child work as a key method. Inner child work involves gentle, structured dialogue that helps people identify early woundings and practise new ways of responding to old feelings. It is often used for shame, attachment issues and persistent self-blame.Creative techniques such as art, poetry and visualisations are also noted. These approaches use drawing, guided imagery or written exercises to access feelings that can be hard to name in conversation and to try new ways of relating to difficult memories.
Choosing the right method is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches to try first, and adjust them based on how helpful they prove. That decision is guided by the client’s needs, goals and preferences rather than a fixed programme.
Practical benefits of online sessions include the chance to fit work around daily commitments and to meet without travel time. The biography specifically mentions video sessions as a way clients have built rapport. Confirm the current online session options before booking so you know what format will be offered. Online work can make it easier to combine creative exercises and discussion in the same appointment.
