About Declan

Declan Kent offers straightforward, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, low mood, anxiety or relationship strains. He aims to create a space where concerns such as self‑esteem, grief, addictions and work pressure can be talked through and made more manageable.

Declan uses plain language and a calm manner to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps forward. He started his career working in clinical environments and volunteered as an honorary assistant psychologist at several hospitals.

Background and approach

That hands-on time shaped his understanding of many difficult behaviours and everyday struggles. He then completed a masters in counselling and psychotherapy to deepen his skills and broaden the ways he helps people. Declan practises with an integrative mindset, choosing methods to suit the person rather than applying a single fixed technique.

He sees therapy as a guided process where the client is the expert on their own life and the counsellor offers tools, perspective and structure. Common areas he addresses include mood difficulties, anxiety, compassion fatigue, trauma and issues around intimacy, body image and identity. He also supports people dealing with parenting strain, career crossroads, addictive behaviours and ADHD related concerns.

Declan is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and works with adults in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged in a range of online formats.

Ways of working Declan names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapy approaches that work online

Declan often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy when working with people online. ACT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values so they can take meaningful action. CBT focuses on identifying thought and behaviour patterns and testing practical changes to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.

He also uses Attachment‑Based ideas and client‑centred listening to help people feel understood and safe to talk about relationships, trauma or intimacy issues. These approaches tend to focus on how patterns developed and on building new ways of relating that feel more helpful and consistent.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. He will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's goals, concerns and day-to-day life. Sessions usually begin with simple aims and are reviewed regularly so the work stays relevant and achievable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversation and non‑verbal cues, phone calls can fit into a short break, chat is a lower-bandwidth option and messaging supports brief check‑ins or written reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and other commitments.
