Debbie Cooley is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience and membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counselling practitioners.

She has supported people through trauma, domestic violence, narcissistic abuse and sexual abuse, as well as drug and alcohol addiction, grief and bereavement, and the particular complexities that follow a loss by suicide. Her practice also includes work with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, family dynamics, self-esteem concerns and the everyday impact of stress.

Debbie has experience supporting clients from LGBTQ+ communities, including those exploring identity, sexuality and gender, and aims to provide an inclusive environment for all. Her therapeutic approach is creative and psychotherapeutic, rooted in respect, sensitivity and compassion, and she adapts techniques to meet each personâs needs.

In sessions she may use reflective dialogue, creative exercises and practical tools to help clients explore their experiences in meaningful ways. She views therapy as a collaborative, tailored process - offering space for insight and healing while supporting clients as they discover new ways forward.
