Debbie Jepps-Finn

Debbie Jepps-Finn is an NCPS counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues around self-esteem and motivation. She also supports those dealing with grief, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, and changes such as divorce or fertility challenges.

Her work draws on client-centred principles. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on making it easier to talk about difficult feelings. Debbie listens to the person's experience and helps them clarify what they want to change. She uses practical tools when helpful and talks through patterns that maintain distress.

She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and test more helpful ways of thinking. Mindfulness practices are offered to build awareness and stress management skills. Psychodynamic ideas are used to look at how past relationships can affect present behaviour and choices.

Debbie gained broad experience through charity work in the UK, which exposed her to a wide range of life situations and pressures. That experience informs how she responds to complex problems such as attachment concerns, abandonment fears, blended family issues and fatherhood questions.

Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts clients from outside the UK. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the See online therapy options button.

How Debbie uses clinical approaches in online work

Debbie combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness in online sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what the person says, helping them to clarify values and goals. This helps when someone feels unclear about direction or struggles with motivation.

CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In practice this means identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them in small steps and building practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood or relationship worries. Mindfulness involves simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress, useful for sleep problems, anxiety and cravings.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review the person's concerns, preferences and goals and suggest ways of working. That choice can be reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan fits changing needs.

The practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week and removing travel time. Confirm the current session formats before booking, since the biography did not list specific options. Online sessions can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid camera use when preferred, or arrange appointments around work or family routines.
