About Denise
Denise Richardson is a counsellor with two decades of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and relationship challenges. She works in English and brings a practical, calm manner to sessions. Denise evaluates each person’s needs at the start so therapy can suit their situation and goals.
She trained in psychology and holds a Bachelor of Psychology and a Masters in International Medicine. Denise has worked across therapy and coaching roles and continues to build her clinical skills over time.
Background and approach
She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. In practice she draws on a range of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and client-centred methods. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long technical explanations.
Denise aims to help people notice what matters, change unhelpful patterns and make small shifts that add up. She also offers clinical supervision and supports other therapists, emphasising reflective practice and professional growth. Her background includes work with transcultural and intercultural issues, and she often helps people facing life transitions, work stress or identity-related concerns.
Denise’s style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Initial meetings explore practical goals and preferred ways of working, so subsequent sessions feel useful and focused. People who want straightforward guidance alongside emotional support may find her approach helpful.
