About Denise

Denise Kerr is a counsellor with 15 years of clinical experience. She trained in psychology and psychotherapy and works in the United Kingdom. Denise brings a person-centred approach to sessions and tailors each appointment to the individual who attends.

She believes the therapeutic relationship matters most and adapts methods to fit what each person needs. Sessions focus on helping people make practical changes, understand patterns, and find clearer ways to manage difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Denise aims to create a calm space where people can talk things through at their own pace. Her background includes a BSc in Psychology and an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent's University in London. Early work with the charity Mind helped shape her interest in mental health and supporting people through crisis and recovery.

Her training also included counselling and listening skills and a foundation in psychotherapy and counselling. Denise uses a mix of approaches drawn from attachment-based, client-centred, cognitive behavioural, emotionally-focused and psychodynamic ideas. She selects tools that suit the problem at hand rather than following a single method.

That flexibility helps when people bring issues such as anxiety, low mood, grief or relationship strain. People consult Denise for a range of concerns including stress, parenting pressures, workplace difficulties and challenges with self-esteem. She also works with trauma, separation and mood variations such as seasonal affective disorder, helping people build coping skills and clearer ways forward.

How Denise uses different approaches online

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this looks like noticing how someone connects with others and helping them try new ways of relating when old patterns cause pain. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and often uses short exercises and practical tasks to shift unhelpful habits and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Denise will discuss what feels most useful, try out techniques together, and adjust the plan as goals change. Clients are invited to give feedback so the approach stays relevant to their needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, chat may suit shorter check-ins, and messaging helps people reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the therapeutic focus.
