About Denise
Denise Boyle is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 17 years of experience. She works with adults and teenagers who are under stress, struggling with anger, or feeling overwhelmed by relationships, family life or work. Denise supports people facing anxiety, low self‑esteem, grief, sleep problems, parenting pressures and the challenges of neurodivergence such as ADHD and autism.
She describes her way of working as person‑centred and collaborative. Sessions focus on what is causing distress now and on small practical steps that can reduce pressure. Conversations aim to be straightforward and paced to the client’s needs rather than rushed.
Denise draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Solution‑Focused Therapy alongside client‑centred practice. That means she helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and also identify realistic, short‑term goals to try between sessions. The emphasis is on practical changes that people can use in everyday life.
A large part of her work is supporting neurodivergent adults and teens. She says this involves adjusting communication style, expectations and pacing so people can get the most out of sessions. Issues such as attachment, abandonment and control are often explored when relevant.
Denise also works with long‑term health concerns, caregiving stress, family conflict and the emotional impact of illness or bereavement. She aims to reduce pressure and support people to regain clearer thinking and steadier coping. If someone wants to begin, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Denise uses Client‑Centred Therapy to focus on each person’s experience, listening and adapting to how they communicate. This approach helps when someone needs time to reflect, to be heard and to set the pace in sessions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking and behaviour that feed anger or anxiety. CBT in sessions looks at practical experiments and small changes to how someone reacts day to day. Solution‑Focused Therapy concentrates on short, achievable goals and on what works now, which can help when feeling stuck or overwhelmed.
Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Denise discusses needs, goals and preferences with each person and adjusts methods together. The result is collaborative planning rather than a fixed programme.
If you want to use online sessions, please confirm the current formats before booking. Many people find online work helpful because it can fit around work or family life, allow shorter check‑ins during a busy day, or reduce travel time. Practical benefits include easier scheduling and being able to keep momentum between appointments, and Denise will discuss which session pattern best suits your circumstances.
