About Darran
Darran Bellis is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with adults who want more control over stress, anxiety, anger and relationship strain. He also supports people dealing with depression, grief and life changes.
Darran focuses on straightforward conversation and practical steps. Sessions are used to identify patterns, practise different responses, and build clearer ways of handling tense moments. He draws on Client-Centred ideas to make the conversation focused on the client, and on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going.
He has worked with people facing a wide range of challenges, including addiction, self-esteem issues and career stress. He also helps with intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns and difficulties tied to attachment or abandonment. Anger is one of the named concerns he supports, described alongside other common difficulties.
Darran keeps session work direct and practical. He talks through what is getting in the way and suggests small, repeatable exercises to try between meetings. Progress is tracked in simple ways so the client can see what changes over time.
Sessions are offered in English and are organised through an online sign-up process. Before a first meeting, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange a time to start work together.
How his approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client’s perspective. The therapist listens without pushing solutions and follows what the person finds most important. This helps people who need to feel heard and want clearer thinking about their reactions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, anger, sleep problems and low mood because it gives clear steps to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is treated as a shared task. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to say what feels useful and what does not, so the work stays practical and relevant.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a working day, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. They can also allow a mix of conversational work and simple exercises you try between meetings. Check the current options and choose what will fit best with everyday life.
