About Denise
Denise Richardson works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship strain. She is a counsellor with a BACP accreditation and about 20 years of experience in therapeutic work. Denise focuses on helping people manage everyday challenges and make steady changes rather than promising quick fixes.
She uses a range of approaches to match each person’s needs. Early in their first meetings she assesses what is going on and talks through which methods may suit that person best. That could mean more person-led conversations, practical skills for managing worry, or looking at how attachment patterns shape relationships.
Denise trained initially in psychology and international medicine and has continued learning across therapy and coaching. Her background includes work on transcultural issues, family mediation and clinical supervision for other therapists. She brings that wider perspective when helping people who are navigating life changes or cultural transitions.
In sessions she aims to build a steady working relationship and help people notice small shifts. She offers coaching-style work alongside therapy when clients want practical strategies for day-to-day problems. She also supports fellow professionals through supervision and reflective practice.
Her practice is straightforward and focused on what the person wants to achieve. People commonly come for help with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and parenting concerns, difficulties with self-esteem, and coping after major life events.
How Denise’s approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, so conversations follow what matters most to the client and build understanding over time. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small actions that move someone toward a life they care about, which can be useful for anxiety and low mood. Attachment-Based work looks at how early relationships influence the way people connect now, helping with relationship and intimacy difficulties.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Denise reviews what a person needs and discusses which methods might help most. She works with clients to set goals and adjust the plan as progress is made, so therapy stays practical and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, check the available session options before booking to confirm how sessions are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that talking online supports steady progress while keeping counselling manageable alongside work, family and other commitments.
