About Dennis
Dennis Richards is a counsellor with ten years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He focuses on practical support for people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma. He also helps with issues around self-esteem, motivation and confidence, and with concerns such as anger, eating difficulties and money and financial issues.
Dennis believes each person knows their own story best. He works in a collaborative way and helps people use their existing strengths to overcome what they are facing. He welcomes direct talk about difficult experiences and about goals for change.
In sessions Dennis blends talking therapies and structured techniques. He draws on client-centred listening to create space for a person to explain what matters. He uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to test new ways of coping.
He also offers trauma-focused methods when past events are getting in the way of day-to-day life. When appropriate, he uses practical, short-term approaches to set clear goals and track progress. Dennis aims to keep work focused and practical while staying responsive to each person’s needs.
Dennis holds BACP and NCPS credentials, and he has a decade of work supporting people with a wide range of difficulties. Sessions are run in English, and he accepts international clients. To begin, follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.
How therapy approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It gives space to tell your story and to notice what you value, which can help with confidence, self-worth and life direction.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses clear, practical steps such as testing unhelpful thoughts and trying small behaviour changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing or EMDR is used when past distressing events keep being triggered now. It involves focused processing of memories to reduce their intensity and the day-to-day impact they have.
Finding the right approach is often part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way forward together. That means methods can be adjusted as progress is made and priorities change.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins or regular work around work and caregiving. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged and what works best for your routine.
