About Velma
Velma Dennis helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, family tension, grief, anger and low self-esteem. She is a calm presence who aims to make talking about difficult feelings easier. Velma works in English and brings seven years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She holds BACP accreditation, which appears on her profile as BACP. Velma focuses on practical, goal-oriented work. She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify small, helpful changes and build on existing strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and aimed at making everyday life feel more manageable. Her approach is warm and non-judgemental. Velma listens first, then helps people set realistic steps they can try between sessions.
She offers a steady presence for those learning to manage panic or persistent worry. Velma also supports people coping with loss, separation and the emotional fallout of relationship breakdown. She helps people work through feelings of abandonment, guilt, shame and forgiveness in ways that fit their pace.
Other areas she addresses include chronic pain, illness or disability, workplace stress, social anxiety and problems with communication. Velma is used to helping people who feel isolated, jealous, or troubled by prejudice and discrimination. Therapy with Velma is collaborative.
She helps clients set simple goals, track progress and adapt plans as life changes. The emphasis is on small, practical steps that add up to meaningful improvement.

Approaches Velma lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The therapist will also use plain, problem-solving conversations to spot strengths and resources the client already has. Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and how each method might fit, then adapt the plan as things shift.
Online formats give flexibility for different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit during a work break. Live chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins, short problem-solving or people who prefer writing their thoughts. These options make it easier to work on goals without travel and to fit therapy into a busy life.
