About Denis
He helps people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Sessions begin by clarifying what is happening now and what the person most wants to change. From there he works with the individual to spot patterns, try new ways of responding, and build small, steady habits that reduce reactivity and improve coping.
Denis blends talking therapy and structured techniques. He uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) as suited to the person’s needs. Expect a collaborative tone - the person and therapist decide what to try together.
He has long experience with issues that often sit alongside anger, including anxiety, trauma, grief, addictions and low self-esteem. He also supports people facing parenting strain, work burnout, relationship difficulties and major life changes.
Denis holds BACP accreditation and works from the United Kingdom. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people use the site’s Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s schedule.

How Denis uses different approaches in online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape present reactions and emotional safety. It can help people understand why they respond strongly in close relationships and build new ways of relating. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance so the person feels heard and can explore their own solutions; it suits people who need space to reflect and regain perspective. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with current thoughts and behaviours to reduce reactivity and build practical coping skills for anger, anxiety and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denis will talk with the person about their needs and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. This is a collaborative process and plans can change as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online therapy often include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around work or family commitments. It can also make shorter check-ins or more frequent meetings easier to arrange. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use different methods to make therapy a workable part of everyday life, and this therapist will help tailor the approach to fit each person’s routine and goals.
