Dennis Gurr is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom.
About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He has six years of experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and trauma. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk openly and start to make small, steady changes.
Dennis uses clear, practical methods rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of him. He listens with empathy and keeps conversations honest and non-judgemental.
Background and approach
This helps clients feel understood and more able to act on the changes they want. He draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas and existential thinking. That mix lets him adapt to different concerns, from low mood and anxiety to relationship and intimacy-related issues.
Motivational approaches are used when people want help with change, such as reducing addictive behaviours. Dennis also offers psychodynamic and Imago-informed ideas where exploring past patterns or relationship dynamics is useful. He brings practical tools alongside reflective conversation, so sessions can include problem-solving and gentle exploration of underlying patterns.
The aim is to help people build better day-to-day coping and clearer choices. People come to him for many things beyond mood and anxiety, including self-esteem, anger, ADHD-related concerns, caregiver stress and communication problems. He accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.
If someone wants a straightforward, down-to-earth counsellor, Dennis presents options calmly and helps them decide what to try next.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then suggest which methods to try. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made or new issues come up.
Online formats make fitting therapy into life easier. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion when fuller conversation helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to schedule. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or moments when typing feels easier. These options offer practical flexibility while still allowing a thoughtful therapeutic process.
