About Debbie
Debbie Sloan helps people facing grief, depression, relationship strain, identity questions and challenges linked to ADHD. She works with LGBT concerns and supports people dealing with loneliness, social anxiety and struggles around life purpose. Debbie is named up front so readers know who they would meet.
She trained as an integrative counsellor and holds BACP registration, which means she follows the professional standards set by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Background and approach
Her five years of formal counselling experience sits on a longer history of mental health work in community and personal settings. Debbie writes plainly and speaks simply in sessions. Her approach is collaborative and down to earth.
Sessions focus on what feels most pressing, using a mix of practical conversations and reflective work. She aims to make therapy feel personal rather than clinical, and to help people find small, doable changes that make life easier. Debbie pays attention to communication problems, guilt and shame, and issues around forgiveness.
She also supports people who feel isolated or stuck thinking about life purpose. In conversation she balances emotional listening with straightforward problem-solving. If someone prefers steady guidance over theory-heavy sessions, Debbie will shape the work to fit.
The emphasis is on honesty, respect and meeting clients where they are, so each plan is tailored to personal needs and goals.

Focus areas and approaches
What Debbie works with
Everything Debbie lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the best way to work is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and goals, then try approaches that fit those aims. This is a collaborative conversation where adjustments are made as progress is reviewed.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation, phone calls use less bandwidth and can suit a shorter check-in, and messaging or live chat can fit around busy schedules or be easier for people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into everyday life and keep continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
