Dennis Gurr helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief and trauma. He supports those coping with depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, low self-esteem and big life changes. He also assists people wrestling with compassion fatigue and attention-deficit issues.

Dennis works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English. Dennis draws on six years of experience as a counsellor and psychotherapist. He bases his work on empathy, honesty and a non-judgemental stance.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the person sitting in front of him and move at a pace they find manageable. He uses client-centred methods that put the person’s experience first. Cognitive behavioural techniques help spot unhelpful thinking and build new coping skills.

Motivational interviewing is used when someone wants to make changes but feels stuck. Dennis also brings existential ideas into sessions, helping people grapple with meaning and life choices. He combines conversational therapy with practical tasks and creative tools when these suit the client.

This mix helps people name problems and try workable steps to feel differently in day-to-day life. Dennis has worked in a range of roles across human relations and systems. That background informs how he looks at relationships, attachment and wider life patterns.

People meet a calm, straightforward counsellor who aims to listen closely and help people find clearer ways forward.

How Dennis’ approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The counsellor reflects what is said, helping people feel heard and encouraging them to find their own solutions. This approach is useful for stress, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses structured exercises and simple experiments to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression and some forms of trauma-related distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Dennis will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that suit the individual. He adjusts the pace and mix of approaches based on how things progress, keeping the person involved in choices about their care.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction feels useful. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work for shorter reflections, written check-ins or when typing helps someone organise their thoughts. These options help people fit therapy around work, travel and daily life.
