Denise Clarke, NCPS

Denise Clarke is a counsellor with five years of professional experience practising in the United Kingdom. She holds NCPS as a credential and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. Denise also supports those dealing with grief, relationship and family concerns, and emotional difficulties linked to ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Her approach begins by recognising each person as the expert in their own life. She uses client-centred methods to help people tell their story and identify strengths to build on. Denise creates straightforward treatment plans so sessions stay focused on what the person wants to change.

Denise draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape present patterns. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Mindfulness tools are offered to reduce stress and improve sleep when that is part of the problem.

Sessions aim to be practical and paced to the individual. Denise encourages people to set clear goals and to try small, manageable steps between meetings. She keeps language simple and practical so busy parents or professionals can follow the plan.

People from different places can work with her, as she accepts international clients and offers services in English. Prospective clients are guided through a short matching questionnaire and scheduling process before beginning therapy.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Denise integrates client-centred work with attachment-based thinking to help people understand how early relationships affect current difficulties. Client-centred work means conversations are led by the person’s concerns and goals, while attachment ideas look at patterns in how people connect and respond to others.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try different behaviours. CBT offers practical exercises and simple tasks to try between sessions, which can make progress easier to track.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Denise will discuss options and help decide which methods fit best with the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That choice is made together, and can change as therapy progresses.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the session formats she currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around family and work commitments, cut travel time and allow for brief check-ins when a shorter conversation is helpful. Some people find online sessions allow them to use mindfulness practice or CBT exercises at home, while others prefer a longer weekly meeting to go deeper.
