About Debbie

Debbie Jepps-Finn is a counsellor registered with NCPS with eight years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, depression, addiction and a range of other difficulties. She also lists blended family issues among her focus areas and supports clients through life changes and parenting challenges.

She uses a mix of approaches to help people talk through problems. Sessions draw on client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes.

Debbie also brings in mindfulness to help people manage strong feelings and reduce rumination. Elements of psychodynamic work are used when exploring patterns that repeat across relationships and life choices. The overall aim is to combine straightforward psychological tools with careful listening.

Her earlier work with a charity gave her experience with a wide range of situations and backgrounds. That time shaped how she responds to sudden change, grief, and family pressures. It also informed her approach to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and fertility concerns.

People who contact her can expect short, plain conversations about what is happening now and what might help next. Practical steps and small experiments between sessions are often part of the plan. To begin, clients are invited to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session.

How Debbie’s approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy is focused on careful listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions using this approach tend to concentrate on exploring present concerns, building trust and clarifying priorities for change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and then tries practical experiments to shift those patterns. Online CBT sessions can include short tasks and homework to try between meetings.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early work. Debbie will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and together they will agree which methods to try. That collaborative planning helps shape session focus and how progress is measured over time.

The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions more easily into daily routines and saving travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when life is busy, while others choose fuller sessions for deeper reflection. Confirm the exact session formats offered before booking, as options are listed when you proceed to schedule. Online work aims to make therapy workable around family life and other commitments without promising a particular format.
