About Denise
Denise Richardson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and grief. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can start feeling steadier day to day. Denise works in English and draws on two decades of clinical practice to guide conversations and plans.
She begins by assessing each person's situation carefully. That helps her choose approaches that fit the issue and the person. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings, not just talking about problems.
Denise trained in psychology and international medicine and has continued learning across therapeutic styles. She blends several methods so the work matches the problem, whether it is low mood, relationship strain, or trouble sleeping. Her background also includes coaching and work with cross-cultural issues.
Alongside direct client work she provides clinical supervision to other therapists. She describes supervision as a space for reflection, skill development and safer practice. This means she pays attention to how therapeutic choices affect both clients and clinicians.
People come to Denise for help with life transitions, parenting stresses, addiction-related concerns and attachment issues. Her approach is practical, collaborative and shaped by the person in front of her. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking.
Using therapy approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) aims to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and stress-related problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress, which can help with sleep problems and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Denise works collaboratively to test what fits each person’s needs and goals. She will discuss options, explain how different methods work, and adapt the plan as progress unfolds.
Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work or family life and can reduce travel time. It may also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight or sessions without video if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can offer the same range of talking therapies online, and Denise will help match practical arrangements to everyday routines.
