Approaches that suit online therapy and creative work

Debby combines talking therapy with artistic methods such as painting and poetry-based exercises to make feelings easier to name and work through. Creative exercises can help when words alone feel limiting and are often used to access memories, emotions and inner-child material in a gentle way.

She also uses inner-child work which focuses on identifying and caring for early emotional wounds. This approach helps people reduce self-blame, build self-compassion and change how they respond to difficult situations now.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try techniques together, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most. Clients and therapist work as a team to choose methods that fit real life and personal comfort.

Many people find online sessions useful because they can fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments. Video meetings are mentioned in her biography as a way clients build rapport, but confirm available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to attend regular appointments, combine creative exercises with conversation, and carry new tools into everyday routines.
