About Dennis

Dennis Gurr is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people with money-related stress alongside a wide range of emotional and life challenges. He works with issues such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, trauma, anger and low self-esteem. He also supports people facing relationship and intimacy concerns, family-related strain, ADHD, and coping with major life changes.

Dennis uses straightforward conversational work. He listens carefully and offers steady, honest feedback. Sessions focus on what feels most urgent to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings.

He draws on a mix of approaches including Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). He also brings elements of Existential Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy and Motivational Interviewing into his work. That means sessions may include exploring values and choices, spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, and practising new ways of communicating.

Dennis has six years' experience in counselling and psychotherapy roles across different settings. He holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, which appears with his professional details.

People who choose him can expect a calm, non-judgemental environment and a focus on clear, manageable goals. He aims to help clients find useful strategies for everyday life, whether the concern is financial worry, caretaking stress, past loss, or difficulty making decisions.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people find their own solutions. Online sessions can still offer a calm space for people to talk through money worries, grief or stress while the counsellor reflects and supports their choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. In online appointments this often means discussing specific situations, trying short exercises during the session and agreeing small tasks to try between meetings to reduce anxiety or manage addictive urges.

Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning and the choices people make. It can help when major life changes, loss or uncertainty about the future are part of the problem, and these conversations work well in remote sessions where people can take time to reflect.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then combine methods to suit the person. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each situation rather than sticking to one method.

Session formats are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current online and in-person options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit appointments around work, reduce travel time, support shorter check-ins when needed, and allow people to join from different locations, including from other countries when international arrangements apply.
