Debby Kirby is a UK-licensed, fully qualified therapist with four years of clinical practice. She recognises the courage it takes to seek support and welcomes people who are ready to begin that step.
Drawing on varied personal experience across a wide range of cultures, Debby works with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, trauma and abuse, complex grief, intimacy-related concerns, self-esteem and attachment difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, relationship and family issues, ADHD, menopause in both male and female clients, and compassion fatigue. She also has specific training in historic sexual abuse, domestic violence, childhood sexual abuse, adverse childhood experiences (ACE) and complex post-traumatic stress.
As an active professional artist, Debby integrates creative approaches — including poetry, visualisation and painting — into her therapeutic work when appropriate. One of her core methods is inner child work, which she regards as deeply healing and effective. She describes herself as a mixed-race, multicultural, non-religious female therapist and aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion.
Debby has many clients who choose regular, long-term therapy and who find video support helpful for building rapport when they begin working with her. She tailors the dialogue and treatment plan to meet each person’s unique needs and welcomes people to get started when they feel ready.
Many people ask whether remote therapy can really help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or adapting to life changes, online therapy has been shown to be as effective as traditional face-to-face sessions for most people.
One major advantage is flexibility - clients can choose the format that suits them best, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to access support from different locations.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and clients may switch therapists at any time if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, the convenience and accessibility of online therapy make it an effective way to begin or continue their mental health care.
