About Denise
Denise Kerr is a counsellor with 15 years of experience who works from an integrative perspective. She holds a BACP credential and trained in psychology and psychotherapy, including a BSc in Psychology and an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling. Denise focuses on helping people facing depression, anxiety and stress, and supports work on relationships, self-esteem and grief.
She begins by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around individual needs rather than a single method.
Background and approach
Denise uses practical tools and reflective conversation to help people notice patterns and try new ways of coping. Her background includes early work with the charity Mind where she provided support as a centre worker and befriender. That front-line experience informed her interest in mental health and led to further training in counselling and psychotherapy at Regent's University and WPF Therapy.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred conversation and cognitive work to address mood and relationship patterns. She also uses psychodynamic perspectives and emotionally-focused techniques when they fit the client's situation. People come to Denise for help with parenting strain, workplace pressure, bereavement, separation and mood disorders including seasonal dips.
She aims to create a steady, practical space where people can talk through feelings, strengthen self-compassion and try manageable steps forward.

Online support
Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's own perspective and timing. The therapist listens without judgement, helps clarify what matters, and supports a person to find their own solutions for issues like low mood or low self-worth.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses straightforward exercises and small experiments to shift unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will discuss options and try different methods with the client to see what fits best. This is a collaborative process based on needs, goals and personal preference.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone is useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and varied lifestyles.
