About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. He helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and depression. He also supports work on relationships, intimacy issues, anger and self-esteem. His practice includes help for people managing life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
He works in a direct, conversational way. Sessions focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and habits. He uses practical tools alongside open discussion to try different ways of responding to problems.
Dennis draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centred and existential ideas. That means sessions may include looking at patterns of thinking, working through values and making small, testable changes in daily life.
He also uses motivational interviewing to help people clarify what they want and to build practical steps towards change. Imago relationship ideas and psychodynamic thinking appear when relationship history or repeated patterns are relevant.
People come for very specific concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, caregiving stress, body image or codependency. He also supports those coping with divorce, adoption and foster care questions, aging issues, dissociation and the effects of disasters.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire and an initial session are used to agree goals and the most useful focus. Fees vary with location and sessions are supplied through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How CBT and related approaches work online
Dennis uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. CBT focuses on clear steps - identifying a thought, trying a small behavioural change, and checking what happens next. This can help with anxiety, low mood, anger and many everyday problems.He also draws on client-centred ideas that emphasise listening and reflecting back what matters to the person. Existential therapy is used to look at values, meaning and choices when people face big life questions. Together these approaches provide both practical techniques and space to consider what matters in life.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which approach fits the client's goals and preferences, and may adjust the focus as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the options available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or phone work when that is helpful. Registered or accredited professionals often offer a range of ways to meet, and sessions are arranged to fit everyday life rather than interrupt it.
