About Dennis

Dennis Richards works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and motivation using a person-focused style. He describes clients as the experts in their own story and draws on their strengths to tackle problems. Dennis holds BACP and NCPS credentials and has 10 years of professional experience.

Dennis uses clear, conversational sessions that aim to make difficult issues easier to talk about. He listens to what matters to each person and then uses practical methods to help with thinking patterns, distressing memories, unhelpful habits and short-term goals. Sessions are paced to suit the individual and focus on what will make life a bit easier day to day.

His work covers a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression. This includes addictions such as drug, alcohol and process behaviours, issues around sexual subcultures like BDSM and kink, chronic pain, grief related to abandonment, and challenges linked to money or career changes. He also supports people working on self-love, forgiveness and reducing shame.

Clinically, Dennis draws on Client-Centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, EMDR, hypnotherapy and Solution-Focused methods. He blends these approaches depending on the presenting issue and the person’s preferences. That mix allows for talking-based work, skills practice, and targeted trauma processing when appropriate.

Dennis works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. He accepts international clients. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How his approaches work online

Client-Centred therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and aims to make talking straightforward and respectful; it helps when someone needs a listener and wants to make sense of their feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and practical skills to manage anxiety, low mood or problematic behaviours, and it often uses exercises between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works on distressing memories and related symptoms through guided processing techniques.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then try methods that fit the issue and the person. Decisions are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so confirm the available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use a mix of talking, structured exercises and brief practical tasks that carry across to everyday life.
