Debbie Jepps-Finn, NCPS

Debbie Jepps-Finn uses a warm, person-centred way of working to help people through difficult times. She draws on eight years' experience and an NCPS credential to offer steady support for stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy concerns. Her approach aims to make talking about hard things feel straightforward and manageable.

Debbie combines client-centred listening with practical tools from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to help people understand patterns from the past that affect their present. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps clients can try between meetings.

She has a background in charity work in the United Kingdom, which broadened her exposure to many life situations and worries. That experience informs a down-to-earth style and an ability to meet people where they are. She pays attention to practical pressures as well as emotional needs.

Common concerns she supports include trauma and abuse, grief, addiction-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD and problems with self-esteem or motivation. Additional focus areas include attachment and abandonment issues, blended family strains, fertility and fatherhood matters, and coping after separation.

Debbie works with LGBT clients and people facing life changes such as divorce or disaster recovery. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk, reflect and test new ways of coping. The focus is on building skills and resilience that fit everyday life rather than on labels.

Therapeutic approaches for online work

Debbie uses client-centred therapy to place the person's experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening and space to make sense of difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy offers structured ways to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood or sleep troubles.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Debbie will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and try methods that match those goals. She works collaboratively, adjusting techniques as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online therapy here is delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work, while messaging is useful for shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to access support from different places.
