About Denise
Denise Clarke is a counsellor with five years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, grief and complex reactions to loss and trauma. Denise also helps with relationship and family difficulties and a wide range of everyday stresses that can feel overwhelming.
Her style is warm and non-judgemental. She starts by listening to each person’s story and recognising their strengths. Denise explains things in simple terms and helps clients set practical, achievable goals for change.
Background and approach
Sessions are collaborative. She uses person-centred ideas to help people feel heard and respected. Denise also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and mindfulness practices to build calmer responses to stress.
She offers clear, step-by-step plans when someone wants them, and more open, exploratory work when that fits better. Denise pays attention to attachment and past relational patterns when they affect current difficulties. This helps with issues such as intimacy worries, abandonment concerns and communication problems.
People who come to Denise can expect practical tools alongside reflective conversations. She supports coping with life changes, sleep problems, anger and long-term conditions such as chronic illness or caregiving stress. Sessions are conducted in English and can be arranged to suit different schedules and circumstances.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided together. The therapist will help identify what fits best based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences, and adapt methods as the work progresses in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and more conversational work, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be a good shorter check-in, live chat can suit those who prefer typing, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and different time zones while keeping the focus on the therapeutic goals.
