About Denise
Denise Clarke is a counsellor who has practised in the United Kingdom for five years. She holds the NCPS credential and works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief and trauma. Denise also supports those dealing with relationship and family difficulties and intimacy-related concerns.
She welcomes clients who identify as LGBT and those managing long-term conditions such as bipolar disorder or chronic illness. Denise believes people know their own story and brings a person-centred stance to sessions.
Background and approach
She listens without judgement and looks for strengths to build on. Together she and the client create a simple treatment plan to address the issues that matter most. Her approach draws on attachment-informed ideas and cognitive behavioural strategies, alongside mindfulness and trauma-focused work when appropriate.
Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and learning ways to manage strong emotions. Denise aims to make therapy straightforward and down-to-earth. Parents and carers who are worn out by day-to-day demands may find her style steady and encouraging.
She also helps with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Compassion fatigue and ADHD are listed specialities she attends to among other workplace and caregiving stresses. Denise offers sessions via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging.
She works with people across borders and carries out an initial matching and scheduling process to set up appointments. Fees use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Denise's approaches work online
Denise blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques to make online therapy practical and personal. Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current feelings and patterns, helping people understand why they react the way they do. Cognitive behavioural therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety, low mood or sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Denise will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That means techniques can be adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and energy levels. Video lets people use visual cues and longer discussions, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work, while live chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
