Denise Mulcare, BACP

Denise Mulcare is a BACP counsellor with 12 years of experience supporting people through difficult life stages. She offers calm, down-to-earth sessions for those facing stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship difficulties, grief or big life changes. Denise aims to make talking about painful things feel more manageable and practical.

Her style is conversational and person-centred. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small steps that can change day-to-day life. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and on mindfulness to help people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed.

Denise also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take action that fits those values. Attachment-based perspectives guide work around relationship patterns and how early experiences shape current coping. She blends these approaches to match each person’s needs rather than following a single method.

Over a dozen years of practice has included support for parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, body image, caregiver stress, and issues such as abandonment or attachment difficulties. She has worked with people dealing with anger, coping after disasters, and complex mood or personality-related concerns.

Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom and international clients are accepted. Denise uses a subscription model for bookings that can be cancelled at any time; prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.

How these approaches can work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions that match those values, which can ease stuckness during midlife transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing and changing thought patterns and behaviours that keep anxiety and low mood going, and it often uses practical exercises between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand repeated difficulties in close relationships and try new ways of relating.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to a person’s situation, goals and preferences and then suggest ways of combining methods. This is collaborative - goals and plans are set together and reviewed as things change.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when time is tight. It can also make it simpler to involve mindfulness exercises or worksheets between meetings, helping people practise new skills in their everyday routines.
