About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a counsellor and psychotherapist working in independent practice in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, anger and self-esteem. He also supports those facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue and ADHD.
He brings six years of experience across different roles and settings in human relations and systems. His work rests on core conditions of empathy, positive non-regard, honesty and a non-judgemental attitude.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what the person needs right now, with straightforward conversation and practical steps where helpful. Dennis uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. He draws on client-centred methods that prioritise the person’s perspective, cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, and motivational interviewing techniques to strengthen motivation for change.
He also uses existential and psychodynamic ideas when those perspectives fit. In a typical session he listens to what matters most to the client, reflects that back, and suggests small experiments or new ways of thinking. He may use creative counselling techniques and coaching skills alongside talking therapy when appropriate.
The emphasis is on building understanding, finding useful changes, and helping people feel more able to handle life’s pressures. Dennis is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are delivered in English and international clients can be accepted.
