About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a counsellor and psychotherapist working in private practice in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and concerns such as ADHD and compassion fatigue. He also offers support around adoption and foster care related matters and other life changes.
Dennis uses straightforward, person-centred ways of working. Sessions focus on what matters to the client and on developing practical steps to cope day to day. He aims to provide empathy, honesty and a non-judgemental space where people can talk openly.
His approach draws on several methods, including cognitive behavioural techniques, motivational interviewing, existential ideas and psychodynamic thinking. That mix allows him to address immediate coping skills while also looking at longer standing patterns that affect mood and relationships.
Dennis has six years of experience in roles across human relations and systems. He brings coaching skills and some creative counselling techniques into sessions when these suit a person’s needs. His practice emphasises collaboration and responding to each person’s unique situation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Dennis commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely, reflecting what someone says, and helping people find their own direction; it can be useful for building trust and working through emotional issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides tools and exercises to manage anxiety, mood and unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and will help decide whether to focus on thought-based skills, reflective exploration, or a blend of methods. That decision is made collaboratively rather than imposed.
Please confirm which online session formats are available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people join from different locations, which can help those living abroad or who need greater flexibility.
