About Debbie

Debbie Jepps-Finn helps people with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and related concerns. She uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside cognitive and mindfulness-based methods to help people talk through feelings and make practical changes. Debbie is registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) and has eight years' experience in the United Kingdom.

She has worked a lot with a charity, which gave her experience of many different life situations. That background informs how she listens and responds to people with depression, addictions, grief, body image or parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with fertility, fatherhood, blended family issues and separation.

Sessions involve talking through thoughts and patterns, looking at how behaviours link to feelings, and practising simple skills to reduce stress and improve sleep. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with changing unhelpful thinking and behaviours, while Mindfulness Therapy offers short practices to manage anxiety and increase present-moment focus.

Debbie also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at past relationships and attachment issues that affect current patterns, including abandonment and dependent personality concerns. She addresses intimacy-related issues and commitment worries in a straightforward way.

Her work includes support for people from LGBT backgrounds and those coping with life changes such as bereavement or disaster-related effects. The emphasis is on clear talking, practical techniques and building steady coping strategies over time.

How Debbie uses therapeutic approaches in remote sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and placing the person's concerns at the centre of each session; it helps when someone needs space to talk and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical steps to reduce worry, improve sleep and change unhelpful habits. Mindfulness Therapy offers short exercises and attention practices to calm the mind and manage anxiety symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try first. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as the work progresses.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins between appointments. Some formats may also require less bandwidth or allow sessions without video, which can suit different practical needs.
