About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and low mood. He supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, codependency and self-esteem concerns. Dennis works with people facing life changes, trauma, anger and compassion fatigue. He also assists with ADHD-related challenges and caregiving stress.
Dennis uses an approachable, down-to-earth style in sessions. He focuses on empathy, honesty and a non-judgemental stance. Conversations are practical and person-focused, with time spent listening and naming what matters most to the client.
In practice he draws on several ways of working. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. He also uses Existential ideas to look at meaning and choice in life, and Motivational Interviewing to support change when motivation is uncertain.
Dennis has six years of experience in human relations and systems roles across different settings. He uses creative counselling techniques and some coaching skills to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. His BACP membership is noted as a professional credential.
Sessions aim to be collaborative. Clients can expect clear conversation about goals, small practical steps between meetings and an emphasis on what helps most in day-to-day life.
How these approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and the therapeutic relationship. Online conversations using this approach aim to create space to be heard and understood, which can help with anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Delivered online, CBT often uses short exercises and practical homework to change patterns that maintain anxiety, depression or unhelpful coping habits.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to boost motivation for change. In remote sessions it can help people clarify values and take small steps when they feel stuck or ambivalent.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. Sessions are collaborative and adjusted over time to what proves most useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can often adapt tools and exercises so they work well across distance.
