About Dennis

Dennis Gurr is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. He works with issues around relationships, intimacy, anger and self-esteem. He also supports people coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.

Dennis holds BACP which means he is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). Dennis works in a straightforward, human way. He aims to build an honest and respectful space where people can speak without feeling judged.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical problems and the feelings behind them. He draws on different approaches to match what a person needs in the moment. His practice uses client-centred listening alongside cognitive behavioural tools to spot unhelpful thinking and try small experiments in everyday life.

He also brings trauma-focused approaches when past events keep affecting daily functioning. Existential ideas are used to help people find meaning and direction during big life shifts. Dennis has six years' experience in roles across human relations and systems.

That background informs how he links personal struggles with wider life patterns. He uses motivational interviewing and psychodynamic ideas when they help move a conversation forward. Sessions are aimed at helping people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps towards change.

He commonly uses creative counselling techniques and coaching skills to support goal setting. People who choose him can expect direct listening, gentle challenge and an emphasis on real-world results.

Ways of working Dennis names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Dennis uses therapeutic approaches online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's view. The counsellor offers empathy and non-judgemental support to help people feel heard and to decide their own next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to test new ways of thinking. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful coping patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will discuss goals, preferences and how an approach feels to the person. Together they will try methods that suit the situation and adjust them over time, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online sessions can be delivered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual cues and mirror an in-person session. Phone work suits those who prefer not to be on camera or who need a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat or messaging is useful for short check-ins, flexible scheduling and people who find typing easier than speaking. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy in a busy life.
