About Dennis

Dennis Gurr is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and relationship worries. He supports those coping with life changes, low self-esteem, anger and compassion fatigue. He also works with issues around intimacy, ADHD and difficult family dynamics.

Dennis holds BACP as a professional credential and practises in the United Kingdom. Dennis takes a straightforward, person-focused approach in sessions. He listens carefully and aims to build trust without judgement.

Background and approach

Conversations are practical and rooted in what matters to the person sitting across from him. He blends talking therapy with motivational techniques to help people make changes they want to try. In therapy he commonly uses client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural ideas.

Client-centred work means the person sets the pace and the topics. Cognitive behavioural ideas focus on noticing patterns of thinking and trying small, concrete changes to see if life feels different. Dennis also draws on existential perspectives to help people face big questions and find meaning after loss or major change.

For relationship or communication concerns he uses Imago ideas to improve listening and reduce blame during difficult conversations. He has around six years' experience in human relations and systems roles, combining counselling, psychotherapeutic thinking and coaching skills. Sessions are conversational and practical, with space to reflect and try new ways of coping.

International clients can work with him in English via a range of online formats.

Ways of working Dennis names

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

Approaches that shape online therapy

Dennis commonly blends client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people make manageable changes. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person chooses what to talk about and the therapist follows their lead. It is useful for building trust and exploring feelings at a comfortable pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going and encourages small experiments to test new ways of responding. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood, stress and habits linked to addictions by offering clear steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and will be a collaborative decision. Dennis will discuss the different methods, listen to the person's goals and preferences, and adapt techniques to fit their needs. The aim is a shared plan that feels sensible and realistic.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines and comfort levels. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits, phone sessions can be useful for a quieter or lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or live chat can work for shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical steps and ongoing support.
