How her approaches translate to online therapy

Denise uses Client-Centred work to focus on each person's priorities and experience, offering space to be heard and understood without judgement. This approach helps when someone needs to make sense of feelings or decide what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test small behavioural changes. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and unhelpful routines by giving clear steps to try between sessions.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical goals and short-term change, spotting what already helps and building on it. This can suit people who want focused, goal-orientated work to move past a specific difficulty.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how someone likes to communicate, and then suggest which methods to try. Decisions are collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work, caring responsibilities or other commitments, and reducing travel time. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when life is busy, or sessions without being on camera; others choose longer slots for deeper reflection. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match your daily routine.
