About Dennis
Dennis Gurr helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. He also supports people dealing with intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem, compassion fatigue and ADHD. Dennis works with practical life changes and a broad range of additional issues such as abandonment, attachment and caregiving stress.
Dennis uses a straightforward, person-focused way of working. He keeps conversations warm and honest and aims to create a non-judgemental space.
How Dennis works
Sessions are shaped around what each person brings, not a fixed script. His clinical approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, plus elements from Existential Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. That allows him to mix talking, practical exercises and reflective exploration to suit the concern at hand.
Dennis has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential. He has worked in a range of roles related to human relations and systems, which informs how he sees patterns in relationships and behaviour. People can expect clear, simple goals in sessions and options for brief practical tasks between meetings.
Dennis aims to help clients build coping skills, make clearer decisions and feel less overwhelmed by everyday pressures. He offers flexibility in session style and tailors his methods to each person. The focus is on what the client needs next, whether that is short-term practical support or deeper personal reflection.

Online support options
How Dennis blends approaches for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, accepting space where the person's own insights guide progress; it helps when someone needs to feel heard and understood before making changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises that can reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped in the past, then agree a plan that might combine methods. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a quicker check-in and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel and let people choose the format that best suits their circumstances.
