About Denise

Denise Richardson is a counsellor with two decades of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and major life changes. She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Denise blends practical techniques with careful listening so people feel understood and can try new ways of handling problems.

She begins by reviewing each person’s situation to work out what might help most. That review shapes a flexible plan that can include talking therapy, coaching or focused skills practice.

Background and approach

Sessions are straightforward and grounded in everyday language rather than jargon. Denise uses a mix of approaches that suit different needs. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used for managing anxiety, sleep and mood. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally-focused work inform how she helps with relationship and intimacy concerns. Her background includes a Bachelor in Psychology and a Masters in International Medicine, and she has spent many years developing therapeutic and coaching skills.

Denise also offers clinical supervision for other therapists, encouraging reflective practice and professional growth. People who come for help often want practical support for everyday problems like parenting stress, grieving, addiction concerns, low self-esteem or workplace pressures. Denise combines problem-solving with a supportive, person-centred stance to help people move forward.

She supports clients through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, and uses a subscription model for sessions that can be cancelled at any time.

How different approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match what matters most. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to reduce worry, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how past relationships shape current connections and can help with intimacy and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will discuss options with each person and together they will pick methods that fit the individual’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning means the therapy can change over time as needs evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and have longer, deeper sessions. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit ongoing coach-style support or brief check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and travel while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
