About Dennis
Dennis Richards is a psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He has ten years of experience helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or panic. He also supports those struggling with addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and motivation. He writes plainly and focuses on practical steps that people can use straight away.
Dennis believes each person knows their own story best. He uses that starting point to help people notice strengths and resources already present in their life. Sessions aim to be calm, direct and goal-oriented so progress can be seen between meetings.
His work blends talking, practical exercises and gentle exploration of difficult memories when needed. He draws on approaches such as client-centred work and cognitive behavioural ideas to help reduce unhelpful thinking and rebuild confidence. He also uses trauma-focused tools when past events keep causing distress.
People contact Dennis for a wide range of concerns, including panic disorder and panic attacks, phobias, depression and long-term pain or illness. He also supports those dealing with relationship loss, money worries and life direction questions. The emphasis is on clear steps a person can try between sessions.
If you prefer straightforward guidance and a collaborative pace, Dennis aims to offer a steady, respectful space. He encourages people to take one small step at a time and discusses options for short-term work or longer therapy depending on need.
How these therapies can work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. A counsellor follows your lead, helping you feel heard and notice choices you already have. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and offers specific exercises to reduce anxiety and panic. It is often used for short-term goals and skill building.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through your needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods might fit best. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you learn what helps.
The biography does not list which online session formats are used, so confirm available options before you book. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and allow quicker check-ins when that helps. Some formats use less bandwidth or are shorter for brief coaching-style work, while others allow a fuller hour for deeper work. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists generally help clients choose the most useful way to meet based on practical needs and what feels manageable.
