About Dennis
Counsellor Dennis Gurr is a BACP member with six years' experience. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, relationship and family issues, and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted.
Dennis draws on a range of approaches. He uses client-centred work to listen and reflect what matters to the person. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thinking patterns and practical ways to try things differently. Motivational interviewing helps when someone feels stuck and unsure about change.
He describes his practice as honest and non-judgemental, guided by empathy and a respectful stance. That means conversations focus on what the individual wants to understand or change, not on labels or quick fixes. Creative counselling techniques and coaching skills are also available when they suit the issue.
Dennis has worked in different roles and settings connected to human relations and systems. That background informs how he notices patterns in relationships and in life transitions. He pays attention to how past experiences can shape current responses.
Sessions typically explore coping with life changes, anger, self-esteem, intimacy-related problems, abandonment and attachment difficulties. He will also look at caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation and issues linked to adoption and foster care when these are raised. The focus is practical and conversational.
Therapeutic approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people who want space to understand their feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviour. It helps with anxiety, low mood and coping strategies by testing small changes and learning from the results.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan over time based on what helps.
Please check which session formats are being offered before you book, as the profile does not list specific delivery options. Confirming the available formats lets you choose what fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family or travel. They can also allow for shorter check-ins, or for not needing to use a camera if that suits you better.
