Declan Kent

Declan Kent is a counsellor who helps people facing strong emotions and difficult moments. He works with issues such as anger, anxiety, depression, low self‑esteem and relationship difficulties. He aims to make therapy straightforward and practical so people can use what they learn in everyday life.

He started in clinical settings and volunteered as an honorary assistant psychologist in hospitals. That early work exposed him to many different behaviours and ways of helping people, and it shaped his interest in psychological approaches. He later completed a masters in counselling and psychotherapy to deepen his understanding and skills.

Declan uses an integrative method, choosing techniques to suit each person rather than one fixed style. He prefers to work collaboratively, helping clients identify what matters to them and what small steps might make a difference. He describes his role as a guide while the client brings knowledge of their own life.

Sessions aim to be practical and rooted in the client’s goals. Declan draws on approaches such as cognitive and acceptance based methods as well as attachment and mindfulness ideas to address patterns of thought, feeling and behaviour. He combines these to tackle issues like impulsivity, shame, addiction and stress.

He holds BACP registration, and has three years of professional experience. Declan practises in the United Kingdom and runs therapy with a focus on tailoring the work to each person’s needs.

How Declan’s approaches work online

Online work can use elements of cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to change how thoughts and actions interact. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing them in small practical steps, which helps with anxiety, depression and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult feelings without getting stuck, and then choosing actions that match personal values to move forward.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will work with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and day‑to‑day life. This is a collaborative process and may change as the work progresses.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family life and reducing travel time. Some people prefer online meetings because they can have a shorter check‑in between in‑person commitments or avoid being on camera on certain days. The exact session formats for this counsellor are not specified here, so confirm current online options before booking to ensure they fit your routine and needs.
