Debby Kirby, NCPS

Debby Kirby, NCPS, offers support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem and relationship problems. She also works with issues around eating, sleeping, parenting, bipolar disorder, depression, ADHD and coping with life changes. Debby writes in a warm, encouraging way and acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help.

Debby draws on creative practices alongside talking therapy to personalise sessions. She uses art, poetry and visualisation as tools when they suit a person’s needs. Sessions aim to help people feel seen and heard, and to build a stronger sense of self over time.

Her background includes work with complex grief, historic sexual abuse, domestic violence and childhood sexual abuse, and she has experience with attachment issues, inner child work and menopause-related concerns. The biography lists NCPS as her credential. Debby also describes a multicultural perspective informed by mixed-race lived experience.

People who have met with her report that video support has been helpful for building rapport before longer-term work. She tailors the conversational style and therapeutic plan to each person’s concerns, and highlights sensitivity and respect in practice.

If you are looking for a counsellor who blends creative expression with traditional therapy conversations, Debby frames therapy as a collaborative process. She invites people to notice small changes and to develop tools for coping between sessions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Debby blends talking therapy with creative methods such as art and visualisation. Art-based techniques use drawing, poetry or imagery to help people access emotions that are hard to put into words, which can be useful for grief, trauma and attachment work. Inner child work focuses on recognising early emotional needs and giving them attention now; it is often used for low self-esteem, abandonment wounds and relationship difficulties.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss different methods with the client and agree what to try first. Plans can be adjusted over time based on what feels most helpful and what practical goals the person has set.

The profile mentions video support as a helpful way to build rapport, but the full set of session formats should be confirmed before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins where needed. They can also support ongoing work when someone cannot attend in person, while still focusing on clear goals and tools to use between sessions.
