About Denise
Denise Mulcare is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of experience helping people who are struggling with stress and anxiety. She offers a calm, straightforward approach and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone worried or overwhelmed. She works with people facing depression, grief, relationship problems and parenting challenges.
Denise also supports those dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, anger and major life changes. Her wider focus includes issues such as attachment difficulties, body image, codependency and carer stress.
Background and approach
Her practice draws on several ways of working so sessions can be shaped around each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps with practical strategies and changing unhelpful thoughts. Mindfulness-based techniques bring attention to the present moment and to bodily sensations.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages values-led action despite painful feelings. Denise also uses client-centred and attachment-informed ideas to build a respectful, listening space. That means the pace and goals are agreed with the person in front of her.
Work can combine short-term coping skills with deeper exploration when that suits the client. She offers appointments online by video, phone, live chat or messaging, and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. The first steps are simple - complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a time that fits with availability.
Denise explains her BACP credential as registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and she draws on her twelve years of practice to adapt the work to each persons needs.
How therapeutic approaches work online with Denise
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking small steps that match what matters to you. It is useful for persistent anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and uses practical exercises to reduce distress and build new habits; it suits worry, panic and unhelpful thinking styles. Client-centred work prioritises the persons own goals and experience, offering a listening environment where the pace is set by the client and the counsellor reflects what matters most.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working that might fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as the work progresses so it meets real-life needs.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and messaging supports brief ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
