About Denise
Denise Garrett is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. Denise aims to create a respectful and compassionate space for conversation where people can feel heard.
She adapts sessions to each person’s needs and circumstances. That means talking through immediate concerns and looking at patterns that keep problems repeating. Denise uses a gentle way of working that focuses on the person in front of her rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Her approach is client-centred, so conversations follow what matters most to the client. This can help when people are unsure where to start or want help making choices about relationships and day-to-day coping. Denise also addresses areas such as codependency, attachment matters, and issues linked to adoption and fostering.
Practical problems like communication breakdown, control issues, and life transitions such as divorce or caregiving strain are within her remit. She also supports people facing challenges with eating, body image, substance use, and serious health concerns like cancer. Each plan is shaped around the person’s goals and pace.
Taking the first step can feel hard. Denise aims to support people through that moment with sensitivity and steady encouragement. She invites clients to set the agenda and works alongside them to build clearer ways forward.
Client-centred care and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens with empathy, reflects what matters to the client, and helps the client find their own solutions. This approach can be useful for problems such as anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, and questions about codependency.Denise will work collaboratively to find the right fit between approach and your needs. She adapts the way she talks and plans sessions based on what you want to achieve and how you prefer to work. Deciding on the approach is part of the therapeutic journey rather than a one-off decision.
Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around busy lives. It can reduce travel time and allow sessions at times that suit work, caregiving, or other commitments. Different online arrangements also let people choose what feels most practical for them, such as shorter check-ins when days are tight or fuller sessions when deeper work is needed. Confirm the current session options before booking to ensure they match your needs.
