Dennis Gurr, BACP

Dennis Gurr is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, depression and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also supports those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and major life changes. He works from a straightforward, respectful stance that aims to make difficult topics easier to talk about.

Dennis works in independent practice in the United Kingdom and has six years of experience in roles across human relations and systems. He uses a mix of approaches to suit each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. His practice draws on hands-on counselling and psychotherapy skills together with coaching techniques.

In sessions he emphasises empathy, honesty and a non-judgemental attitude. That means trying to listen carefully, reflect what clients say, and help people see options for next steps. He combines this with practical tools when useful, such as cognitive behavioural ideas and motivational interviewing prompts.

Dennis also brings longer-term therapy perspectives into the work, including person-centred and psychodynamic influences. These approaches help if someone wants to look at patterns or deeper emotional themes. Creative counselling techniques are used at times to open up new ways of talking and understanding.

People who prefer a collaborative style will find his approach practical and steady. For those concerned about relationships, intimacy or attachment issues, he uses methods designed to improve communication and awareness. He welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.

Approaches that translate to online counselling

Dennis uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on listening, empathy and helping people find their own solutions; this approach is useful for stress, grief and self-esteem work. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and provides clear strategies for anxiety, depression and coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then collaboratively try methods that fit. That might mean combining reflective person-centred conversations with practical CBT exercises or motivational interviewing prompts to support change.

The original biography does not list specific online or in-person session types, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions helpful because they fit more easily into daily life, reduce travel time and allow quicker access to ongoing support. Shorter check-ins or sessions outside standard work hours can make it simpler to keep progress moving while balancing other responsibilities.
