About Denise

Denise Garrett is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Denise approaches each person with respect, sensitivity and compassion. She aims to tailor conversations and plans to each individual’s needs so therapy feels relevant and practical.

Denise uses a client-centred approach, which means she listens closely and follows the pace set by the person in the room. Sessions tend to centre on what matters most to the individual and on building a trusting working relationship. This style is often helpful for people coping with attachment concerns, abandonment, blended family issues, and caregiving stress.

She also supports people dealing with body image concerns, effects of cancer, substance and alcohol issues, eating-related difficulties, and the emotional fallout from divorce and separation. Communication problems, control issues, codependency and dependent personality patterns are additional areas she addresses in conversation.

Denise aims for a gentle, respectful way of working. She helps clients talk through painful experiences, make sense of difficult feelings, and try out new ways of relating to others. Her background is practical and person-focused rather than technique-driven.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the person’s lead. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space where people can talk through feelings and make sense of painful events. This approach can help with anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and attachment-related difficulties.

The right therapeutic approach is often discovered together. Denise will work collaboratively to identify what feels most useful, adjusting the way she works to fit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean slower-paced reflection one week and more practical problem-solving the next.

Practical benefits of online therapy include being able to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reducing travel time, and keeping therapy consistent when life is unpredictable. Some sessions may be easier as shorter check-ins if a full hour is hard to manage, or they can be arranged at times that suit work and family commitments.
