More about Denise
- 15 years' experience

- BACP
I am a psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist. I have an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies. I have interest in Lacanian Psychoanalysis. I am also interested studying gender identity issues.
People come to therapy for various reasons such as: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anorexia, bulimia, sadness, gender identity, depression, post-natal depression, panic attacks, social anxiety, emotional abuse and many others.
Perhaps you are struggling understanding why you feel the way you do. You may wish to explore how you got where you are now in order to find your own solutions.
My approach is Psychodynamic psychotherapy oriented. You are invited to speak about yourself at your own pace in a non-judgemental, and safe space.
I look forward to working with you.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Really comfortable to speak with and helps find the words I struggle to find
She went straight to the core of the issues I was struggling with and her insight and advice was very effective in enabling me to work through the issues I had.
With just a few sessions, Denise have given me an outlet to express all emotions. From unprocessed feelings to anxiety over other things. She’s a wonderful therapist to have.
Denise is very warm and kind and gives me helpful feedback and support.
Denise has been incredibly patient and gentle with me. She has allowed me to develop a trusting environment where I feel safe to confront my demons. Thanks to her, I have started the process of self-forgiveness and am beginning my journey to heal from patterns that have trapped me for so long. I am grateful for her understanding and support, and I no longer fear being misunderstood or patronized.
Denise is great and I like that we are not having just a chat. I get that some people need this, but at some point, I need to be able to identify and understand my flaws so I can improve. Denise offers this.
Thoughtful therapist. It is the first I am conducting therapy, so Inhave no reference. I personally enjoy the sessions, because she triggers me to think about myself in a different way. I feel supported.
Pleasant therapist who listens, is clear in explanation and communication. Also guides you if you are new to therapy like me. I get the feeling she has a lot of experience. Would definitely recommend!
Denise went straight to the core of the issues I have been grappling with and helped me make sense and find a way to make peace with them from the first session. No beating about the bush, extremely effective. Cannot recommend her enough.
Very professional and a very good listener. Provides good tips to solve my issues.
