About Denise

Denise Richards is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, loss or relationship pain. She writes plainly and listens closely so people can speak about what matters without fear of being judged. Denise works in the United Kingdom and holds BACP membership, which she lists on her profile.

Denise offers a warm, steady presence in sessions and encourages people to name what is hard. She uses different counselling ideas to match each person’s needs rather than one fixed method.

Background and approach

Conversations often look at current feelings and past experiences that shape behaviour and relationships. Practical skills are balanced with space to reflect. Denise may use thinking-focused techniques to tackle anxious thoughts and mood, and relational approaches to untangle patterns that repeat in close relationships.

She aims to help people find clearer choices and calmer ways of coping. Her background includes six years of therapeutic work in voluntary and specialist settings, including services supporting survivors of abuse, trafficked women, young people and general mental health counselling. Those placements inform her understanding of trauma, loss and complex life events.

Sessions can include quieter reflection, structured goal work or a mix of both. Denise describes counselling as a joint process where the person sets the pace. She invites people to take a first step towards clearer thinking and steadier days.

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

Practical approaches for online counselling

Denise commonly draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a trusting space where your thoughts and feelings are heard and respected, which can help when you feel confused or overwhelmed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers hands-on techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the right approach is something to work out together. Denise will talk with you about your goals, what has helped before and what feels doable now. She plans sessions collaboratively and may try different ways of working until you find what fits best for your needs and preferences.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets you have a fuller, face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when you need a simpler check-in or have limited bandwidth; live chat and messaging suit shorter updates or times when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, care duties or travel commitments.
