About Denise
Denise Kerr brings 15 years of experience to her counselling work and describes a practical, person-focused approach. She holds a BACP credential and trained in psychology and psychotherapy. Denise aims to build a therapeutic relationship that fits each person rather than forcing a single method.
Sessions are designed to help people feel heard and to make steady progress on emotional concerns. Her background began with a BSc in Psychology and continued with a MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent's University in London.
How Denise works
Early volunteering and work with the charity Mind shaped her interest in mental health and led to further training in counselling and listening skills. Over time she has combined learning across different models to form an integrative practice. Denise uses a mix of approaches to suit the issue and the person.
That can include exploring past relationships and attachment patterns, working on current thoughts and behaviours, or focusing on emotions in relationships. She draws on tools from several therapies to meet the presenting need. People commonly come to her for stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties.
She also supports those dealing with parenting pressures, workplace problems, self‑esteem concerns and trauma or abuse. Additional focus areas include mood disorders, social anxiety, phobias and self-harm. Sessions are available in English and she works with clients across the United Kingdom and internationally.
She offers flexible online formats so people can fit counselling around work and family life. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people struggle with intimacy, abandonment fears or repeated relationship problems by exploring relational history and emotional responses.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and builds understanding through listening and empathy. It suits people who need a trusting space to talk things through and find their own solutions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, works on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, phobias and mood difficulties by teaching practical strategies to manage symptoms.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together decide what fits the client's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. Many people find the range of formats adds flexibility and helps them keep momentum with their therapy.
