Debbie Griffin
Counselling focused on practical support and hope
About Debbie
Debbie Griffin is a counsellor with twelve years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential, and she helps people who are feeling stressed, anxious, low in confidence, or unsure about career direction. She aims to make the first step easier for someone thinking about change.
She creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters to them. Sessions focus on understanding current problems and finding practical ways forward.
Background and approach
Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s needs. Debbie works with a wide range of concerns including relationship strain, grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, eating difficulties, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing life transitions, parenting challenges, intimacy-related issues, anger, and depression.
Additional interests include body image, codependency and family of origin matters. Her approach is based on Client-Centred Therapy. That means the conversation is shaped around the client’s views and priorities rather than a fixed protocol.
The therapist listens closely and helps people identify their own solutions. Practical options for sessions include video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients can work with her, and sessions are offered in English.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled to fit the client’s situation.

How client-centred therapy works online
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their thoughts and feelings. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.In online work the same principles apply - the focus is on what matters to the client and on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. The counsellor and client decide together which ways of working suit the person best, and they review this as progress is made. That collaborative approach helps tailor sessions to each person’s goals and preferences.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins or flexible contact between longer sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments, and they increase access for people living outside the immediate area.
