Debbie Crew
Helping people navigate relationship, trauma and loss
About Debbie
Debbie Crew welcomes people who are struggling with relationship difficulties, trauma, grief, anger or ADHD. She writes simply and directly, offering a calm space where clients can talk through what feels hard. Debbie names people’s strengths and helps them build on those strengths at a pace that feels manageable.
She has seven years of professional experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Debbie believes clients are experts in their own stories and works in partnership to set achievable goals.
Background and approach
She aims for practical steps that make everyday life feel steadier. In sessions Debbie helps people untangle attachment and abandonment concerns, manage impulses and anger, and cope with shame, guilt or major life changes. She also supports those facing chronic illness or caregiving stress and helps people dealing with communication problems or money worries.
Her approach is grounded in well-established therapeutic techniques and focuses on what a client wants to change. Conversations move from understanding patterns to trying out small changes that add up over time. Debbie keeps language plain and meetings focused so progress feels clear and realistic.
People can expect a collaborative working style where their pace is respected and strengths are used as tools for change. She encourages realistic planning, practical coping strategies and steady steps towards the goals people bring to therapy.

Approaches you can try through online therapy
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques tend to focus on understanding unhelpful patterns and practising new ways of coping. One common approach helps people identify triggers and build concrete skills to manage strong emotions like anger or impulsivity; it is useful for mood regulation and everyday stress. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns, helping people notice repeated dynamics, try different communication habits and repair trust where possible; this can help with relationship strain and feelings of abandonment.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, experiences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust as they go, so treatment evolves to match needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging which makes therapy flexible around work, family and travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break, while text or chat can suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep continuity and fit therapy into a busy life.
