About Denise
Denise Clarke is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. She also helps with relationship and family difficulties, and with concerns such as sleeping problems, anger and self-esteem.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and attachment-based approaches. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different ways of responding. Denise aims to build clear, practical steps you can try between meetings to see what works in everyday life.
Her approach treats the client as the expert on their life. Conversations begin with what matters most to the individual and lead to a straightforward plan. That plan may include coping skills, mindfulness practices, and ways to change patterns that cause distress.
Denise supports people dealing with longer-term issues too, including bipolar, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and chronic illness or pain. She also addresses concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems. Work on these topics is practical and goal-focused, with regular review of progress.
Sessions are offered in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and use a cancellable subscription model. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Denise commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify patterns of thinking that maintain anxiety or low mood, and then tries practical tasks to change those patterns. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at relationship patterns and how early bonds can shape current reactions, helping with intimacy and communication issues.She combines these with a client-centred stance that keeps the person's priorities at the centre of planning. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist and client discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan if something is not working.
If you plan to work online, confirm the session formats before booking. The main practical advantages are easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week, shorter check-ins when needed, and options to use video or phone depending on what suits the person. The focus remains on clear, practice-based steps to use between sessions so progress can be tracked in day-to-day life.
