About Dennis

Dennis Gurr is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, grief and depression. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self esteem and life changes.

Dennis brings six years of experience in human relations and systems. He describes his practice as rooted in empathy, honesty and a non-judgemental stance. He works in a straightforward way, listening first and then helping people find practical steps that suit their life.

He uses several approaches depending on the person in front of him. These include Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Existential ideas, along with Imago relationship work and Motivational Interviewing. That mix means he can focus on thoughts and behaviours, while also looking at meaning and relationship patterns.

Dennis has worked in a range of roles and settings which inform his approach today. He integrates creative counselling and coaching skills when they fit the issue. He aims to keep sessions calm and clear so people can make small changes that add up.

People who are coping with major disruption or loss may find his direct, empathetic style helpful. He can talk through grief, trauma, compassion fatigue and ways to manage change after a natural or human-caused disaster. He asks simple questions, listens, and helps set achievable goals for the next steps.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, which helps people feel heard and decide what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood or unhelpful habits. Existential Therapy explores meaning, choice and values, which can be useful when life changes or loss leave someone feeling adrift.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they fit what the client actually needs.

Practical benefits of online therapy can include easier fitting of sessions into a busy week, fewer travel demands and the chance to check in from a different location. When session formats are not listed here, please confirm the current options before booking so you know what is offered. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to maintain continuity of care and to make regular sessions easier to manage alongside everyday commitments.
