Denise Clarke, NCPS

Denise Clarke is a counsellor with NCPS registration and five years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on common problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Denise aims to make the first step feel easier and meets people with respect and compassion.

She works in a person-centred way and believes clients know their own stories best. That means sessions start from the client’s experience and move at a pace that feels right. Denise offers help with relationships, family concerns, intimacy-related issues and coping with life changes.

Her practice also addresses longer-term or overlapping difficulties such as bipolar symptoms, ADHD, chronic illness and compassion fatigue. She supports people dealing with anger, sleeping troubles, low self-esteem and issues around attachment and abandonment. Practical problem-solving and clearer daily habits are part of the work.

Denise uses elements from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness alongside trauma-focused and attachment-based approaches. She works with clients to build a realistic plan tailored to their needs and to try out new ways of thinking and acting. The aim is steadier routines, fewer intense reactions and more confidence handling setbacks.

Sessions take a collaborative tone aimed at building self-reliance. Denise encourages people to discover and use their own strengths while she provides structure, tools and steady support. If you want straightforward, respectful help with everyday thoughts and habits, she may be a good fit.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Denise uses client-centred work that focuses on the person’s own goals and strengths. This approach means sessions are shaped by what the client brings, and the counsellor offers listening, reflection and practical planning to help people move forward.

She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to map thoughts, feelings and habits. That work involves spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small changes in daily routines to reduce stress and improve sleep and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Denise will work together with each person to choose techniques that fit their needs and preferences. The plan is adjusted over time as goals and circumstances change so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Please confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, family or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or conversations without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can help clients use remote sessions to practise new skills at home and to keep momentum between meetings.
