About Debbie
Debbie Sloan is a counsellor who supports people dealing with depression, grief, relationship strain and identity concerns. She is a BACP counsellor with five years of experience and aims to create a warm, human space where clients can talk things through. Sessions are intended to feel grounded and personal rather than clinical or rushed.
Debbie describes therapy as a collaborative process. She listens to what matters to each person and adapts her style to suit individual needs.
Background and approach
Conversations can cover low mood, anxiety, loneliness, social worry, and difficulties with communication or forgiveness. Her background includes work across community and personal mental health settings. That experience informs a practical approach to common everyday problems such as feeling stuck or struggling with life purpose.
Debbie draws on methods that are evidence informed to help with thinking patterns and practical coping. She has worked in Northern Ireland since 2011 and combines that history with five years focused practice as a BACP counsellor. Her sessions aim to be straightforward and respectful, giving people time to find clarity and next steps.
People can expect a conversational style that checks what is helpful and adjusts over time. Debbie aims to make space for identity issues, LGBT concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and the hard emotions that come with loss and change. The work is paced to the person and shaped around real-life pressures.

Focus areas and approaches
What Debbie works with
Everything Debbie lists, in their own terms.
Online support
Finding the right approach is a shared task. Debbie works together with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. Over time she adjusts the focus and tools to fit your goals and what helps you make steady progress.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when travel is difficult, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options aim to make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving or other daily routines while keeping the core collaborative work intact.
