Debbie Gregory

I offer online appointments via Google Meet. If you’d like to explore working together, just get in touch indicating your preferred day and time.

I’m Debbie, a qualified counsellor offering online therapy for adults across the UK. Online counselling offers an accessible way to engage in therapy, especially for those who find travel difficult or who are more comfortable in their own space. It isn’t a lesser alternative to in‑person work; it’s simply a different way of accessing therapy that fits around your needs.

I support people with a range of issues including anxiety, carer stress, grief, neurodivergence and chronic illness. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, worried or unsure why things feel so hard. Others are wondering whether their struggles may be neurodivergence or are seeking support following a late diagnosis of autism or ADHD. Whatever is worrying you, my aim is to offer a space where you feel understood, valued, and supported. 

Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in business, local government, and adult education. I’m also a mum to grown‑up children and have lived experience of neurodivergence and chronic illness. These experiences have deepened my understanding of the challenges people face in their everyday lives - especially those navigating a world that wasn’t built with their needs in mind.  This has shaped my flexible approach to therapy and commitment to adapting sessions around the needs of a client.

I hold postgraduate qualifications in counselling and psychotherapy and continue to develop my practice through ongoing training. I also work within the Â鶹ԭ´´ ethical framework.

I believe that each person is unique, so I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches — including CBT, person‑centred and attachment-based therapies. I also use creative elements and am happy to share resources for those who would like further reading or tools for self-reflection. 

Our work may focus on a specific challenge or take a longer journey of self-exploration. My role is to walk alongside you and to offer support and compassion as you explore your difficulties and begin to uncover what may lie beneath them. By becoming more self-aware you can discover strengths and inner resources that you may not be aware of. This can help rebuild self-esteem that can so often become diminished due to difficulties we encounter in life.  

Whatever your goal is, I aim to work at your pace and to support you, whether short or long-term. 

The first session is 50 minutes long and is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and for you to see if I’m the right therapist for you. It can take a few sessions for the counselling relationship to develop but the first session can give you an idea of whether I am someone you can trust. When you trust a counsellor, you are more likely to explore your difficulties which can lead to greater opportunities for personal growth.

The session will also involve me completing an assessment which will help us to clarify what has brought you to therapy and what you hope to get out of the process. This may involve exploring some of your previous life experiences as well as what is happening in your life now. 

If we agree to continue working together, we will organise our next session. Ideally sessions are held weekly but I can also accommodate fortnightly sessions which I find works well for clients who prefer a gentler pace. As therapy progresses, we can adjust the frequency of sessions as needed.

Fees:

- First session/assessment - 50 minutes - £25

- Standard session – 50 minutes - £45

- Concessionary rates for standard sessions are £30.

I kindly ask that all payments are made in advance.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me via the Â鶹ԭ´´. I will respond as soon as possible but please check your SPAM FOLDER should my reply have gone there.

I look forward to the possibility of meeting you.
