Debby Kirby, NCPS

Debby Kirby NCPS offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the emotional effects of long-term health challenges. She is experienced with trauma and abuse, intimacy and attachment concerns, low self-esteem, parenting strain and the practical strains that come with chronic conditions. Debby also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, ADHD, bipolar symptoms and the day-to-day coping needed during life transitions.

Debby works in a warm, creative way and brings an artistic sensibility to sessions. She uses art, poetry and visualisation when helpful, alongside talking therapy. Sessions aim to make emotions easier to name and manage, and to help people rebuild a sense of safety with themselves.

Her background includes four years of professional practice and the NCPS credential. That experience includes supporting people through complex grief, historic sexual abuse, domestic violence and attachment wounds. Debby describes inner child work as a key part of her approach when that fits a person’s needs.

She draws on her multicultural life and creative practice to adapt how she responds. Debby aims to tailor each plan to the individual rather than using the same method for everyone. People who prefer a hands-on creative element often find this style helpful.

How therapeutic approaches and online work fit together

Debby uses a combination of talk-based techniques and creative methods to help people manage difficult emotions. Inner child work focuses on recognising early hurts and giving those parts of a person a chance to be heard and soothed, which can help with longstanding patterns of shame or self-criticism. Creative interventions such as guided imagery, visualisation and expressive art let people access feelings when words are hard and can support trauma recovery, grief processing and building emotional regulation skills.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Debby discusses goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods over time. She aims to work collaboratively, checking in about what helps and adapting plans if something feels unhelpful or too much.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, medical appointments or caregiving. The profile notes video support has been useful for building rapport, but potential clients should confirm the current session options before booking. Practical benefits include shorter travel time, easier scheduling and being able to continue work during life changes without needing to attend in person.
