About Debbie
Debbie Jepps-Finn is a counsellor who uses a person-centred style to create a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what’s troubling them. She works with everyday problems such as stress and anxiety, as well as relationship difficulties, sleep problems and issues connected to trauma, grief and self-esteem. Debbie holds NCPS and brings eight years of UK practice experience to her work.
She draws on a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, combining client-centred listening with practical cognitive behavioural (CBT) tools and mindfulness exercises. Sessions aim to be conversational and grounded, helping people notice patterns, try small changes and build clearer routines around sleep and rest. Debbie also uses psychodynamic ideas to help uncover recurring themes from past experience when that seems helpful.
Her background includes substantial work with a charity, which shaped her sensitivity to many different life circumstances. That experience helped her learn simple, everyday ways to support people facing loss, addiction, eating concerns, parenting strain and identity matters. She describes her role as walking alongside people rather than fixing them.
In sessions she focuses on what matters most to the person in front of her. People can expect empathy, gentle challenge and practical suggestions they can test between meetings. The overall aim is to reduce distress, improve sleep and boost confidence in managing life changes.
Debbie sees individuals in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. Her registration is NCPS, and she works in English.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Debbie commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement, helping people to name what matters and feel understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for sleep and anxiety.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try approaches together and adjust as needed. This collaborative attitude helps ensure the way of working fits the person rather than imposing a single method.
If you plan to work online, check which session formats are currently offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness practices or CBT exercises at home between meetings to build better sleep routines and day-to-day coping.
