About Debby
Debby Kirby, NCPS, welcomes people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, and relationship or intimacy challenges. She also supports people dealing with self-esteem, parenting strain, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and codependency. Debby writes and creates art, and brings that creative sensibility into her therapeutic work.
Debby uses a plain, conversational approach in sessions. She offers inner child work and trauma-informed support alongside practical talking therapy. Many clients use video to build rapport and then continue regular sessions over time. Conversations aim to be grounded and personal rather than technical.
Her background includes four years of practice and registration as NCPS. Debby describes experience with historic sexual abuse, domestic violence, complex grief, attachment issues and menopause-related adjustment. She also notes work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and with varied life experiences.
In sessions Debby will listen and help you make a simple plan for change. That might include looking at patterns, practising new ways to communicate, or using creative exercises such as visualisation or drawing. She keeps things practical and paced to what each person needs.
People who contact Debby start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to therapist availability. She works in English and accepts international clients, and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Debby mentions using inner child work and trauma-aware methods alongside creative exercises such as visualisation, poetry and painting. Inner child work involves gentle exploration of early experiences to understand how they shape current feelings and behaviour, often helping with attachment issues, abandonment concerns and self-esteem. Trauma-aware approaches focus on pacing, safety and regulated steps to process difficult memories and reduce daily symptoms.Creative techniques add another way to express things that are hard to put into words. Drawing or guided visualisation can help people access emotions and notice patterns without only talking. Debby brings these options into sessions when they fit a persons needs and preferences, and she will work collaboratively to decide which tools to use.
If you are considering online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking as options are not exhaustively listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Video can help build rapport by allowing visual connection, while other formats can be useful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth are needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often discuss and adjust the approach over the first few sessions to find what suits you best.
