About Declan
Declan Kent offers practical, person-focused counselling for people dealing with life’s difficult moments. He works with concerns such as low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, addiction and relationship difficulties. He also supports people facing career strain, grief, parenting pressure and challenges linked to identity, including LGBT issues. Declan is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation, with three years' experience in clinical and counselling settings.
Declan trained in psychology at undergraduate level and then completed a master’s in counselling and psychotherapy. Early in his career he volunteered as an honorary assistant psychologist in hospitals, where he learned from a range of clinical practices and observed many different presentations. Those experiences shaped his interest in practical, adaptable care rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
In sessions he uses an integrative approach, choosing methods to suit the person and the problem. That might mean drawing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Attachment-Based ideas or client-centred work. He frames himself as a guide who helps people use their own knowledge and strengths to move forward.
Declan aims for therapy to be a collaborative process. He will work with each person to set clear goals and try different ways of working if something does not feel helpful. He emphasises straightforward conversation, practical strategies and steady progress.
Money and financial issues are among the topics he lists when people want support navigating stress and decisions. To begin, clients are invited to follow the site's intake steps and match to a suitable schedule.
How his approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress and teaches practical skills to change them; it commonly helps with anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based ideas explore how early relationship patterns shape current emotions and connections, which can be useful for relationship and intimacy-related issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Declan treats therapy as a collaborative process and will check in about what feels useful. Together, therapist and client identify goals and try methods that suit the person’s needs and preferences, adapting the plan as progress develops.
The original biography does not specify which online or in-person formats are provided, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online therapy can make sessions easier to fit into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video when face-to-face style interaction helps, or phone when bandwidth is limited or a quicker call is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor sessions to work with everyday routines and goals.
