Declan Kent
Tailored practical support for everyday struggles
About Declan
Declan Kent helps people who are struggling with low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress and difficulties with relationships. He introduces practical steps and clear language so a worried parent can follow along. Declan writes simply and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person.
He trained in psychology at undergraduate level and went on to complete a masters in counselling and psychotherapy. He also spent time as an honorary assistant psychologist in clinical settings, which shaped his interest in a range of treatment styles.
Background and approach
Declan holds BACP accreditation; this is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Declan uses an integrative approach, choosing methods that suit the individual rather than forcing one model. That can mean combining elements from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive approaches or attachment-based thinking, for example.
He describes his role as a guide who helps clients use their own knowledge about themselves. Sessions focus on practical, everyday changes as well as talking about difficult feelings. Declan pays attention to patterns such as avoidance, impulsivity or difficulties with intimacy.
He also supports people with issues like addiction, parenting strain, grief, body image and work stress. He offers online options for those who prefer not to meet in person. Sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
The goal is to find a clear, manageable way forward that fits each person's life and priorities.

Sessions & fees
How his approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It encourages choosing behaviour that reflects personal values and can help with anxiety, depression and problems like avoidance.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It uses practical exercises and small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms like low mood, worry and unhelpful habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Declan will discuss options with each person and try methods that match their goals and preferences. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face when useful. Phone sessions are helpful for shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief updates, reflection between sessions or for those who prefer not to use audio or video. These options aim to increase flexibility and help people stick with the work in a way that fits their routine.
