About Dennis
Dennis Richards is an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor (BACP, NCPS) working in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. He helps people who feel stuck by addressing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. Dennis invites practical conversation about what is getting in the way and what matters most now.
His approach treats the client as the expert in their own life. Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that build on existing strengths. He uses methods such as Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy and solution-focused work where they fit the person's needs.
Dennis is used to working with concerns that often accompany major life changes. These include issues around abandonment, midlife questions, life purpose, chronic pain or illness, and money or career stress. He also offers support around addiction and process behaviours, including drug and alcohol problems and problematic sexual behaviours.
In practical terms he aims for sessions that are direct and focused. People can expect conversational sessions that explore current patterns, test new ways of coping, and review what works between meetings. He pays attention to emotions, past experiences, and present goals when helping someone move forward.
To begin, Dennis asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and he accepts clients internationally. Sessions are offered in English.
How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on a respectful, listening stance so the person leads the conversation and the counsellor reflects what matters most. It helps when someone needs space to make sense of a change or loss. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical tasks between sessions to test new ways of coping; it is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) targets distress tied to traumatic memories and follows a structured protocol to reduce the intensity of those memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's goals, needs and preferences. That collaborative planning can include trying one approach and adapting if something else seems to help more.
The profile does not list specific online formats, so confirm the current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or let them avoid travel. Online work also makes it possible to continue sessions when relocating or living abroad. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools like CBT worksheets, EMDR protocols and solution-focused tasks to remote sessions, depending on what is agreed at the first meeting.
