About Dennis
Dennis Richards offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or low self-esteem. He writes simply and listens closely, helping people untangle what matters now. His approach focuses on small, manageable steps so progress feels realistic and steady.
Dennis has ten years of professional experience in the UK. He holds BACP and NCPS credentials, which appear as supplied. He helps people dealing with trauma and abuse, depression, eating concerns, anger, panic, phobias and post-traumatic stress.
How Dennis works
He also works with issues such as chronic pain and illness, addiction to drugs or processes, and relationship-related topics like abandonment and BDSM or kink concerns. In sessions he draws on a few complementary methods to suit each person. He uses client-centred conversations to prioritise what the person wants to work on.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy tools are used for clearer thinking and practical skill-building. He also offers trauma-focused work and EMDR alongside solution-focused and hypnotherapy elements when helpful. Dennis treats career and life-purpose questions, money worries, guilt and shame, isolation and midlife transition.
He aims to build confidence and self-love while addressing unhelpful patterns. The tone is straightforward rather than clinical - he helps people break problems into steps and move forward. People can work with him through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are accepted.

Online support options
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities and strengths. Sessions centre on listening, reflection and helping people find answers that suit their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, uses practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and patterns and is useful for anxiety, depression, panic and phobias.EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, addresses traumatic memories by combining focused processing with guided bilateral stimulation. It can be helpful for post-traumatic stress and intense trauma symptoms when introduced carefully alongside other supports.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will talk through options and tailor techniques to a person’s goals, needs and preferences. That means sessions can focus on symptom relief, skill-building or deeper trauma work depending on what the person wants to prioritise.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for conversation and guided therapies that use visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging allow flexible, written check-ins between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or mobility needs while still using the same therapeutic approaches.
