About Denise

Denise Richardson works with adults who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and trauma. She offers straightforward support for everyday struggles like sleep problems, low mood, confidence issues and major life changes. Denise uses a calm, practical approach so people can start feeling steadier day to day.

She trained in psychology and holds a BACP credential, and has around 20 years of experience working in counselling and coaching.

Background and approach

Denise begins by looking at each person's situation and deciding which approaches will suit them best. That way sessions focus on what the person needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Her work draws on several evidence-based methods including cognitive behavioural techniques and acceptance and commitment ideas to manage difficult thoughts and build helpful habits.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to explore relationship patterns and how past losses or abandonment affect current connections. People can expect short practical exercises, reflective conversation and goal-focused planning in sessions. Denise balances talking through feelings with simple skills to try between meetings.

She also offers clinical supervision and support to other therapists. Denise practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Sessions are delivered in English and she is available via a mix of video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions through the service.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Denise uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking and build useful routines. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns and trying practical experiments to change behaviours, which can help with anxiety, sleep and low mood. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasises noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help people cope with loss, emptiness and ongoing stress.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and intimacy. That approach helps people understand repeated hurts and try different ways of relating. Denise works collaboratively with each person to find the right mix of approaches, checking in about what helps and what to adjust as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video is useful for in-depth therapeutic work, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel while still working with registered or accredited professionals who can help plan next steps.
