About Denise

Background and approach
She adapts her pace and communication to each person she meets. Denise uses a person-centred way of working, which means she listens first and follows the client’s priorities. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep difficulties going.
Solution-focused techniques are used to identify small changes and build on practical strengths. Sessions are collaborative and paced to reduce pressure. Denise aims to help people feel heard, regain clarity, and increase confidence in daily life.
She supports practical problem solving alongside emotional reflection. Starting therapy is described as a step-by-step process. Denise focuses on building a working relationship and then choosing approaches that fit each person’s goals and communication style.

How Denise’s approaches work online
Denise combines person-centred listening with practical techniques. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding your priorities and following your pace so sessions feel manageable and respectful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and is helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, achievable changes and on building solutions rather than re-living problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will talk with clients about goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that suit them. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as needs change.
Online sessions offer flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera, live chat gives a written back-and-forth and text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or ongoing reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work and busy schedules, and to choose what feels most comfortable for each session.
