Denise Garrett, BACP

Denise Garrett is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as her credential. Denise focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, grief and depression.

She adopts a gentle, respectful manner in sessions. Denise aims to tailor conversations and the plan of work to each person's needs. She works in plain language and keeps sessions focused on practical next steps as well as emotional processing.

Denise also gives attention to related concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, adoption and foster care topics, blended family tensions, and communication problems. She supports people facing difficulties with body image, eating and food-related issues, and substance use concerns alongside emotional distress.

Clients coping with illness and caregiving stress may find the sessions useful, as Denise lists cancer and caregiver issues among her focus areas. She also addresses separation, divorce, domestic violence, codependency and control or dependent personality patterns in her work.

Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged with a variety of online formats. Denise encourages a first step of choosing a session type that feels manageable and then building work at a pace that suits the individual.

How Denise’s Client-Centred Approach Works Online

Denise uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and reflecting back what someone says. The aim is to create a calm space where people can talk about their feelings and make sense of difficult experiences. This approach is often helpful for stress, grief, relationship worries and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise will check your needs, goals and preferences and adjust how she works with you. That might mean more practical problem-solving in some sessions and more exploring feelings in others; the choice is collaborative and reviewed as you go.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you keep visual contact and read cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins, and messaging or live chat can suit people who prefer written conversations or need more flexible timing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or travel and give practical options for different days and moods.
