About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and trauma. He also helps with relationship and intimacy-related concerns, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Dennis uses a calm, straightforward style and aims to make sessions easy to follow. He draws on six years' experience across different roles in human relations and systems. He works from the core conditions of empathy, honest feedback, positive non-regard and a non-judgemental stance.
Background and approach
That means the focus is on what matters to the client and on clear, respectful conversation about goals. Dennis uses several approaches to suit different needs. He offers Existential therapy to look at meaning and choices, Client-Centred work to build understanding and support, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for practical steps to change thoughts and behaviours.
He also uses Motivational Interviewing and elements of psychodynamic and creative counselling when helpful. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Some people want short-term help to manage anxiety or stop addictive patterns.
Others use therapy to work through deeper loss, attachment concerns or long-standing relationship patterns. Dennis explains options and helps people choose what feels most useful. He is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, noted as BACP.
Sessions are offered in English and Dennis accepts international clients. Practical arrangements are discussed at the start so people know what to expect.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Existential therapy looks at the choices people make, the meaning they find in life and how they respond to loss or uncertainty. It is useful for people facing major life changes, grief or questions about purpose. Client-Centred therapy focuses on understanding and acceptance; the counsellor offers empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and to clarify their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, uses practical techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, depression and coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dennis will discuss your concerns and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. He aims to make decisions together about goals and methods, so the therapy matches your needs and preferences.
Online sessions offer flexibility and access. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or a better fit when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for ongoing check-ins, brief reflections or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options help people schedule therapy around work, caregiving or travel and make regular contact more practical.
