Background and approach

The aim is to reduce pressure and strengthen confidence over time. Her practice is neurodiversity-affirming and includes support for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD. Denise adapts communication and pace to each person's needs so conversations feel manageable and useful.

She works in a person-centred way and draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused methods. That means sessions are guided by the client, but may also include looking at thinking patterns and building small, realistic steps towards goals. Denise seeks to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can reflect and try out new strategies.

She encourages practical changes that fit into everyday life. For many clients this leads to clearer decision-making and better coping with life's challenges.

How Denise combines personalised approaches with online therapy

Denise uses a person-centred approach that puts the client's priorities first. Sessions are led by what the person wants to work on, with the counsellor offering support, reflection and practical ideas to try between meetings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to help spot and test out unhelpful thinking patterns. It often involves simple experiments and steps to change routines, which can reduce anxiety and low mood over time.

Solution-focused work concentrates on small, achievable goals and on what is already working. This can be useful when someone wants quick, practical changes to feel less stuck or overwhelmed.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Denise will discuss the options with the client, check goals and try methods that suit their needs, pace and communication style. She adapts the work as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, short live chats are useful for quick check-ins and messaging can suit people who prefer to write. These formats make therapy more flexible for work, family and busy schedules.
