About Denise

Denise Clarkson-James is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions and issues related to trauma and abuse.

Denise also helps those coping with relationship and family tensions and struggles around self-esteem and grief. Her approach focuses on creating a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

She encourages straightforward conversation and practical steps that fit each person’s life. Sessions are built around what matters most to the client rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Denise draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address distress and unhelpful patterns.

She pays attention to attachment matters, blended family dynamics and communication problems when these are relevant. She also offers support for issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety and sexual identity concerns. Clients can use a range of session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location and therapist availability. To begin, prospective clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule sessions according to therapist availability. Denise aims to work collaboratively to set clear goals and practical next steps.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options

Denise uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and change unhelpful patterns. One common approach focuses on identifying and changing thought patterns that fuel anxiety or low mood, helping people notice triggers and try different ways of responding. Another approach attends to attachment and relationship patterns, looking at how past relationships shape current difficulties with trust, communication and closeness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denise works collaboratively to choose methods that match each person’s goals and day-to-day life. She will discuss options, try things out, and adapt the plan as progress is made and needs change.

Online therapy is offered through several formats to fit different routines. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter, voice-only check-in is preferable. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who want shorter, more frequent check-ins or who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical changes and emotional relief.
