About Denise

Denise Garrett is a counsellor who has practised in the United Kingdom for six years. She is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by life. She writes simply and listens with care to understand each person's situation.

Her work focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. She also helps with concerns linked to abandonment, attachment, blended family issues, body image and caring responsibilities.

Background and approach

Denise brings attention to practical problems such as communication, control issues, codependency and addiction-related struggles. Denise uses a client-centred approach, which means sessions are shaped by what the person wants to talk about. Conversations are led at the client’s pace.

She adapts the dialogue and plan to meet individual needs rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method. Her manner is gentle and respectful. Sessions aim to create space for people to speak honestly about hard things, and to find steadier ways of coping.

She supports people through change, whether they are working through loss, separation, or life transitions. To start, she asks a few questions to match practical needs and preferences, then agrees a way of working together. The focus is on small, manageable steps and on building on strengths already present in the person’s life.

Ways of working Denise names

Client-Centred Therapy

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

Client-centred care online and what to expect

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement, follows the client's lead and reflects what they hear to help clarify feelings. This approach is helpful for anxious feelings, relationship worries, grief and for people recovering from trauma because it focuses on understanding and being heard.

Sessions start by working together to find the best fit. The therapist will ask about goals, everyday pressures and how the person prefers to communicate. That information guides the style of sessions and any practical steps they try between meetings. The process is collaborative and adjusts as needs change.

Online formats offer flexibility in how people connect. Video calls are closest to face-to-face and suit longer, in-depth work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on difficult days. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, written reflections and a way to communicate without being on camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caring duties and travel.
