Dennis Gurr, BACP

Dennis Gurr is a counsellor and psychotherapist who helps people facing midlife transitions, stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and depression. He works with people who are struggling with relationships, intimacy, anger, self-esteem and life changes. He also supports those dealing with trauma, compassion fatigue and ADHD. He holds BACP accreditation, which is shown as BACP in his profile.

Dennis uses straightforward talking therapy in a calm, non-judgemental manner. He aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and be listened to with empathy and respect. Sessions focus on what matters now and on practical steps the person can try between meetings.

His background includes six years working across different roles and settings in human relations and systems. That experience informs a flexible style that adapts to each person’s needs. He blends conversational, creative and evidence-informed methods rather than following a single script.

Techniques he uses include client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, motivational interviewing and existential approaches. He also draws on psychodynamic ideas and creative counselling methods when they suit the issue at hand.

Dennis emphasises honesty, positive regard and non-judgement as the core conditions in his practice. People who come to him for help can expect a collaborative, practical approach aimed at untangling difficult feelings and finding manageable ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Dennis draws on client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to guide conversations and practical change. Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience so they can come to their own conclusions; it helps when someone needs empathetic space to think things through. Cognitive behavioural ideas look at patterns of thought and behaviour and offer simple experiments to try between sessions; this approach often supports stress, anxiety and mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dennis treats the choice of method as collaborative and adaptive. He will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then match techniques to what seems most useful for their situation.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy across different locations for international clients. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly use online appointments to help people balance therapy with everyday life.
