About Denise Kerr

Denise Kerr is an integrative psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with 15 years of clinical experience and BACP membership, which denotes professional standing with a national counselling body. She trained in psychology and therapy, earning a BSc in Psychology and an MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent's University, and began her interest in counselling while studying at the University of Westminster. Early practical experience came through roles with the charity Mind, where she worked as a centre worker and befriender, and she completed additional training in counselling and listening skills at WPF Therapy and a foundation in psychotherapy and counselling at Regent's University.

Denise works from an integrative perspective, combining therapeutic methods to suit each person's needs rather than adhering to a single model. Her practice focuses on areas such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief, self-esteem concerns, depression, family and parenting issues, trauma and abuse, anger, career and coaching. She also addresses complexities like abandonment and attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, mood disorders, phobias, seasonal affective disorder, self-harm, self-love, social anxiety and workplace challenges.

Clients can expect a collaborative approach in which emotional needs guide the choice of techniques. Denise aims to support progress and personal development through a tailored therapeutic relationship that uses a range of tools to meet individual goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Denise Kerr

Denise draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and trust. This approach can help people understand difficulties with intimacy, abandonment fears, and relationship dynamics.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which prioritises the client’s perspective and pace; the therapist offers empathetic listening and support to help individuals clarify values, build self-esteem, and find their own solutions. Complementing these, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical strategies to identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for anxiety, low mood, phobias, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Denise works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to determine which methods best match each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative exploration helps shape a plan that feels appropriate and manageable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent contacts are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to continue work when travel is difficult, and to maintain consistent contact with a therapist regardless of location.
