More about Denise

I believe that every client is unique and should be seen as an individual. The therapeutic working relationship is tailored to the needs of the client and not to one specific approach, with a safe environment to explore issues. I am passionate about helping people to progress and develop by supporting each invidual with their emotional needs.
I am a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist holding a BSc in Psychology and a MA in Psychotherapy and Counselling from Regent's University in London. I first developed an interest in counselling whilst studying my bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Westminster.
I started my training in counselling 18 years ago. This embarked on a career path that led to further studies in Counselling & Listening Skills at WPF Therapy and later a Foundation in Psychotherapy & Counselling at Regent's University.
My interest in mental health began after completing training and work experience with the charity Mind, as a Center Worker, and a Befriender.
I offer an integrative approach to Psychotherapy with the use of various therapeutic tools to meet the individual needs of my clients.
Specialities
depression
anxiety
stress
relationship issues
self-esteem issues
spirituality
This includes bereavement, personal development and coaching.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She’s really helped me learn techniques to ground myself and cope with my mental health, I’m well on my way on my healing journey thanks to her
Denise listened and understood where I was coming from, she prayed with me which was so lovely because I felt seen and loved and heard. It felt like I wasn’t on my own in this. Would recommend her! Thank you Denise
Working with Denise has given me the opportunity to not only develop a better understanding of how I can improve my wellbeing but has encouraged me to put that into practice. She has been able to see my strengths and abilities and really help me build my confidence around it. I like that she allows an element of faith to be a part of our sessions because it is important to me in my therapy. I feel like I have developed a better understanding of myself and my wellbeing and how I can maintain and improve it. I am so blessed and grateful to be working with her.
Denise is really special, she listens and response with clarity, bringing variation to thoughts and is able to really get me focused on the work I need to do internally.
Understanding, gets back to you quickly, helpful and a good listener and just generally a nice person who wants to help and can pick you up with her words
When I started talking with Denise I was experiencing an extremely traumatic period of my personal family life. I was having panic attacks and constantly crying. Denise help me to channel my emotions, self sooth and communicate better with my partner. As a spiritual therapist she was also able give reference to scripture which helped ensure my faith and mind set were aligned. I'm still going through a traumatic phase but she is helping me to navigate through this. I've never used a therapist before however I would definitely recommend it and Denise.
Very empathetic
Denise has become the person I go to when I really need someone to talk to and has seen me through many versions of myself and helped me through each. She is one of the best listeners and calm auras I have ever met.
Denise is very calming and easy to speak to, she listens and understands. She gives good advice and allows you to feel peaceful.
I enjoyed working with Denise. She is an amazing and empathetic therapist. I truly felt listened to and understood without any judgement. I appreciated how much Denise checked in with me to make sure I was doing well in between sessions. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
Denise is amazing. She is patient, caring and very understanding. I couldn't recommend a better therapist.
I have been matched with Denise since July and I am very glad to have her as my therapist. Denise is a great listener and really interested in me and offers thoughts and reflections in a really helpful way without any sense of obliging me to take them on board. Many a time I have had a challenge here or there in my life and after talking through with Denise I feel better and lighter and think with more clarity. Thank you Denise.
Denise provides me a safe space to explore and sound out my life experiences and thought processes without any fear of judgment. I appreciate her support during this very challenging journey that I am on. I highly recommend her.
Denise has been a great therapist since I started using Better Help. Often when I feel very anxious, her calming reassurance helps me immensely. She is a good listener who is always genuinely supportive of my progress. She also gives me great advice. Seeing how I have progressed since my very first session with Denise, I really cannot thank her enough!
Denise is genuinely one of the sweetest people I’ve ever had the luck of knowing. I think your therapist literally makes or breaks your journey and experience and I’m thankful I have her ❤️ She’s a gem!
I am more than happy with Better help for matching me with Denise Kerr. I didn’t know what to expect and I was really anxious as this is my first time really engaging in therapy. Denise has been so kind, gentle and understanding. She took time to build a trusting foundation with me and her and that I truly trust that she knows what she’s doing and wants the best for me on this journey. She listens and knows exactly what I need and also gives good suggestions of things that I need to help me in our sessions and outside of our sessions. She has a lot of patience and empathy and doesn’t ever make me feel like I’m ‘too much’. She’s also really relatable so it makes me feel understood and really heard. Denise Kerr has really made this platform a safe space for me and I really appreciate that as it encourages me to stay and keep getting the help that I need.
Denise has been so helpful in my journey, has a very positive outlook and is a great listener. She took the time to understand my thoughts and feelings, help me set goals and gave appropriate tools to achieve them. Again her energy and positive outlook is what I appreciate the most, she genuinely wants to help and see you flourish! Thank you Denise ✨☺️
Denise is really great. She is warm, skilled and genuine. Our work has been a safe place for me to explore my experiences, and has given me some much needed room to breathe. Our sessions have been the catalyst for self-improvement and forgiveness, and my therapy has resulted in strengthening of my relationships. I couldn't recommend a better therapist.
Denise is a wonderful therapist and I feel so accepted and validated by her. She’s very kind and warm and provides me with the reassurance I’m always looking for. I feel like I can talk to her about things that I’ve never spoken with anyone before.
Denise maintains a wonderful, safe space for me to explore and reflect. I never feel judged, and I feel that I can be vulnerable with her. I am able to talk about parts of myself that are sometimes difficult, or occasionally even shameful, to own. Our sessions have provided me with a sense of empowerment, and her acceptance has normalised some of my experiences. I feel like a weight has been lifted after our sessions, and our work together provides me with the headspace to enjoy a sense of clarity in other areas of my life. Denise is skilled, professional and very warm. I would recommend her to anyone.
Denise is a really kind and warm person who is very easy to talk to. She’s very supportive and I’m really glad I chose her as my therapist.
Denise has been wonderfully patient with me and has always made me feel I can tell her anything without any judgement. She responds almost immediately when she’s around and I am happy to continue my sessions with her if I needed to extend my therapy.
