About Debbie

Debbie Cooley is a counsellor with five years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. She helps people deal with trauma, addiction and bereavement in a calm and straightforward way. She creates an inclusive space for people of different backgrounds to talk through painful experiences and the questions that follow.

Her approach is practical and adaptable. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred listening to understand what matters most to each person.

Background and approach

Sessions may include reflective conversation, mindfulness exercises and practical strategies from cognitive behavioural approaches. Debbie has worked with people affected by domestic violence, sexual assault, narcissistic abuse and drug or alcohol problems. She also supports those coping with grief, end-of-life concerns and the emotional fallout of loss.

She is comfortable discussing issues such as panic attacks, self-harm, guilt and problems with attachment. Her style is gentle and creative. She combines careful listening with simple, actionable tools so people can try new ways of coping between sessions.

Therapy is treated as a collaboration - goals and pace are set together. Debbie holds BACP credentials, which are listed as BACP, and works with adults on a range of emotional and relational issues. Sessions are offered in English and can be run in several online formats to fit different schedules.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches suited to online counselling

Debbie often uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process upsetting events and reduce symptoms that follow trauma. This approach focuses on understanding the impact of traumatic experiences and building skills to manage distress.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy which looks at patterns in close relationships and how they affect feelings and behaviour. Working with attachment ideas can help people understand relationship difficulties and build more supported ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Debbie will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and exercises, phone works well when video isn’t possible, and text or chat can be handy for shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or other commitments and to keep continuity when life is busy.
