Dennis Gurr
Practical, person-focused counselling for life challenges
About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief and depression. He supports those facing relationship strain, family and intimacy-related concerns, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and coping with major life changes. Dennis works in a straightforward, respectful way and bases his practice on empathy and honesty.
He has six years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).
Background and approach
That background comes from roles across human relations and systems, which shape how he thinks about people and their connections. He brings together talking therapy, coaching skills and some creative techniques to meet individual needs. Dennis uses a mix of approaches, including client-centred work, cognitive behavioural ideas, existential questions, Imago relationship thinking and motivational interviewing.
Sessions focus on what matters to the person in front of him and aim to build clearer choices and practical steps. In practice he keeps sessions direct and non-judgemental. He aims to create space for people to look at patterns, make sense of painful events and try different ways of coping.
He will tailor the pace and style to each individual. People who prefer remote contact can work with him through video calls, phone, live chat or messaging. Getting started is a simple process that includes a short matching questionnaire and scheduling to suit both parties.

Sessions & fees
How his approaches work online and in sessions
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's own experience and pace. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps the person find their own solutions; it suits people who want a supportive, respectful space to talk. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses practical techniques to change unhelpful thinking and reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Existential therapy asks questions about meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people facing big life changes, grief, identity questions or a sense of emptiness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, past experience and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed rather than sticking to one fixed model.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or fitting therapy into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
