Denise Boyle, BACP

Denise uses Client-Centred Therapy to keep the conversation led by the person in the room, listening closely and adapting to each individual’s pace and communication style. That approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to make sense of feelings before planning change.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural experiments. It is useful for issues like anxiety, low mood and sleep problems where noticing patterns and practising new responses can make a practical difference.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Denise will explore your needs, goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that fit your situation. You can expect a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as progress is made.

Online sessions give flexibility for different kinds of check-ins. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins or people who prefer typing, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and energy levels while still working on practical change.
