About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, anger and addiction. He also supports those facing grief, trauma, depression and relationship or intimacy-related problems.
He uses straightforward talking therapy alongside practical tools. Sessions often focus on what is happening now and what a person wants to change. He draws on cognitive behavioural methods and motivational interviewing to help with patterns of thought and action.
Dennis also uses person-centred and existential ideas to look at meaning, values and personal choice. That can help when people feel stuck, uncertain about decisions, or drained by caregiving and compassion fatigue. He combines these with psychodynamic thinking when early life experiences seem to shape present behaviour.
Work may involve short-term, goal-focused conversations or longer exploration depending on what someone needs. He brings practical coaching skills and creative counselling techniques into sessions when they suit the persons goals. He values honesty and clear feedback in the room.
People approach him about a wide range of concerns beyond anger. These include issues with self-esteem, ADHD, communication difficulties, commitment worries and coping with significant life changes. He also addresses less common areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties and ageing-related concerns.
Dennis accepts clients from the UK and international clients and works in English. To begin, prospective clients follow the sites matching process and book an initial session to discuss priorities and practical arrangements.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions can work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people clarify values and make choices by being heard without judgement. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills for reducing stress, anxiety and anger. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings about change by exploring goals and building motivation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options and adapts methods based on a client's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the counsellor and client agree which techniques to try and review what is helpful as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around life commitments, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight and reduce travel time. It can also mean choosing camera-off conversations when someone prefers that, or using video when visual connection helps the work. Registered or accredited professionals aim to choose formats that suit each person's practical circumstances and goals.
