About Debbie

Debbie Griffin is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with over a decade of professional experience. She holds NCPS and has spent 12 years helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and career difficulties. Debbie offers a calm and non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters to them. Taking the first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier and more manageable.

Debbie works collaboratively with each person to understand their current struggles and realistic goals. She listens closely and reflects back what she hears to help people make sense of their feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as emotional understanding so progress can be noticed between meetings.

Her background includes supporting people with relationship problems, coping with life changes, grief, and issues around intimacy and parenting. Debbie also offers support for addictions, ADHD and compassion fatigue, and she addresses related concerns such as body image, codependency and communication problems.

Client-Centred Therapy shapes her approach. That means sessions prioritise the person’s perspective and pace, and Debbie follows what matters most to them. She aims to build an honest, respectful conversation that helps people find their own solutions.

People who choose her often want a straightforward, empathetic counsellor who will listen and help them take practical steps. If you are looking to sort out work stress, rebuild confidence, or manage a big life change, she can help you work through those issues and plan next steps.

How Client-Centred Therapy adapts to online work

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the process. It involves the therapist listening carefully and reflecting back what they hear, so the client can understand themselves more clearly. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship and confidence issues by letting the person lead the pace and focus of sessions.

That same way of working translates to online settings by keeping the conversation collaborative. The therapist and client check in about what is useful and adjust goals together. Finding the right approach is part of the work, and the therapist will help figure out what feels most helpful based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily into a busy day and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to meet during a lunch break. The exact session formats available should be confirmed before booking, and the therapist will discuss how to make sessions suit everyday life rather than promising a specific format.
