About Denise
Denise Garrett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. Denise aims to make the first step into counselling feel manageable and respectful.
Her approach is gentle and person-focused. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to shape conversations around what matters to each person. Sessions are led by the client's pace and priorities, and Denise adapts how she talks and plans work to suit each situation.
Background and approach
Denise also supports people facing issues connected to abandonment, adoption and foster care, and attachment questions. She helps those coping with blended family stresses, caregiver strain, and the emotional impact of cancer. Practical worries such as communication problems, control issues, and codependency are also within her remit.
People who have experienced domestic violence, addiction, eating and body image difficulties, or the fallout of divorce and separation can find a steady presence in sessions. Denise focuses on listening without judgement and helping clients identify small, practical steps forward. Her style is calm and compassionate.
She encourages honest talk about feelings and behaviour. Plans are reviewed together so progress can be checked and adjusted as needed.
How Client-Focused Therapy Works Online
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what you say back so you can explore thoughts and feelings. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood, relationship concerns and the emotional impact of trauma by building understanding and self-direction.In online work the counsellor will help decide which approach fits best. That choice is collaborative and may change over time as goals and needs become clearer. Denise will check in regularly to make sure the way of working still suits you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and reading non-verbal cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat and messaging let you check in in writing and may feel easier for steady, ongoing support. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around everyday life.
