About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a counsellor working in independent practice in the United Kingdom. He supports people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and coping with life changes. Dennis prefers a straightforward and respectful style.
He offers an open space to talk, listens carefully, and helps people find practical steps they can try between sessions. He emphasises empathy, honesty and a non-judgemental attitude in every conversation.
Background and approach
His work draws on several approaches to suit different needs. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace.
Motivational Interviewing supports people who want to make changes but feel stuck. Dennis also brings experience from roles across human relations and systems. That background informs how he sees patterns in relationships, attachment and repeated behaviours.
He combines talking therapy with creative techniques and coaching skills when they fit the situation. People often come with practical problems such as communication issues, codependency, caregiver stress, or navigating separation after divorce. Dennis helps people map out options, weigh them up and try small experiments to see what works.
Sessions are offered in English and can take different formats to match daily life. He works with each person to agree aims and a pace that feels manageable.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will discuss different methods with each person and agree a plan based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined or adjusted over time.
Online sessions can be delivered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when lower bandwidth or hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and day-to-day life.
