Debbie Sloan, BACP

Debbie Sloan is a qualified integrative therapist registered with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a recognised professional body for counselling and psychotherapy in the United Kingdom. She brings a compassionate, person-centred approach to therapy, creating a grounded and genuinely human space where people can explore feelings and work through difficult life moments.

Debbie has experience across community and private mental health settings in Belfast, Northern Ireland, and welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds. She supports people facing anxiety, low mood, grief, questions about identity, relationship difficulties, and a general sense of being stuck. Her work is tailored to each individual, focusing on what matters most to the person in front of her rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.

In sessions she aims to be respectful, honest, and attentive, meeting clients where they are and valuing the uniqueness each person brings. Whether the concern is loneliness, communication problems, or finding life purpose, Debbie offers practical and empathic support designed to help clients make meaningful progress at their own pace.

Integrative approaches and accessible online therapy

Debbie offers an integrative way of working that blends techniques from different evidence-based therapeutic approaches into a coherent plan tailored to each person. Integrative therapy focuses on understanding the whole person - emotions, relationships, history, and current challenges - and uses methods suited to the issue at hand, which can be helpful for anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.

She also draws on a range of evidence-based therapeutic techniques adapted to the individual. These techniques are applied in practical, structured ways when helpful, and are used alongside more exploratory, relational work for issues such as ADHD, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Debbie works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She supports clients in experimenting with different ways of working and adjusting the approach as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Debbie is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life. These options make ongoing engagement more accessible for people who need adaptability in scheduling or who prefer to meet from their own location.
