More about Denise

  • 15 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

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.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

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.

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.

Denise has been a great therapist since I started using Better Help. Often when I feel very anxious, her calming reassurance helps me immensely.

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 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.

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.
