About Debbie

Debbie Griffin is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has 12 years of professional experience in the UK. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, low self-esteem, career challenges and issues around motivation. She also supports clients with anger, grief, trauma and a range of life changes.

Debbie keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She focuses on listening first, then helping clients name what is happening and what they want to change. Conversations tend to centre on day-to-day habits, communication patterns, and small steps that can reduce pressure and reactivity.

Her approach draws on client-centred therapy, which means the person in the room directs what matters most. Debbie follows the client’s lead while offering questions and reflections that clarify feelings and choices. This style can help when someone feels stuck, overwhelmed or unsure about next steps.

She has worked across issues such as addictions, intimacy-related concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue, and also addresses family-of-origin problems, codependency, and problems with control. Debbie can talk through parenting strain, ageing concerns, and body image worries while keeping the focus on current coping and practical change.

Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform.

How sessions work

How client-centred work translates online

Client-centred therapy focuses on the client’s perspective. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what the person says and follows their lead. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of strong feelings like anger, grief or anxiety and wants practical ways to change everyday responses.

That way of working also suits coaching-style conversations about career moves and motivation. The counsellor asks questions that sharpen goals and highlights small actions to try between sessions. For issues such as relationship problems or stress, it can make it easier to spot patterns and rehearse different responses in realistic scenarios.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Debbie will work with the client to agree which methods to use and will adapt as needs and goals become clearer. The first few sessions are used to set priorities and choose practical steps that feel manageable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed and let people join sessions from different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a mix of session lengths and rhythms to suit daily life.
