About Denis Bruce
Denis Bruce is a BACP Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with 25 years of experience supporting people through anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties and major life transitions. He works with a wide range of concerns including stress, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, intimacy issues and compassion fatigue, helping clients regain balance and move toward clearer, more manageable ways of living.
His style is down-to-earth, non-judgmental and collaborative, focusing on building a strong therapeutic relationship where a person feels seen and heard. Denis draws on a broad toolkit of proven methods, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Transactional Analysis (TA), mindfulness practices and integrative psychotherapy to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.
Work begins by clarifying what is happening now and then exploring patterns, developing practical strategies and creating space to reflect. Denis adapts his approach according to whether someone prefers structured, goal-focused work or a gentler, exploratory pace. Clients often describe him as warm, thoughtful and calm, and his aim is to support people to reconnect with their own strengths and make meaningful, lasting changes.

Therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current connection, trust and intimacy. It can help people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues or repeating relationship difficulties.
Client-Centred Therapy offers a respectful, empathic space where the therapist follows the client's lead, helping individuals explore feelings and build self-understanding at their own pace. This approach is useful for those seeking a supportive environment to work through self-esteem, life changes and emotional overwhelm.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. It is often used when someone wants structured, goal-oriented work that produces skills to cope with everyday challenges.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Denis works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as work progresses.
Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - so people can access support from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. This flexibility helps make ongoing treatment more practical and easier to maintain alongside daily life.
