Dennis Gurr, BACP

Dennis Gurr is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years working in private practice. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, and codependency. He also addresses ADHD, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Dennis draws on a mix of talking therapies rather than one single method. Sessions focus on what feels difficult right now and on practical ways to cope. He aims to listen without judgement and to be straightforward about next steps people can try between sessions.

In practice he uses Client-Centred approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Existential ideas. He also brings Motivational Interviewing and elements of Imago Relationship Therapy into work where they fit the client’s needs. That variety lets him try different tools if something is not helpful.

People can expect a calm, direct style that looks at patterns in relationships and behaviour. Dennis will help identify small changes that reduce day-to-day strain, like clearer boundaries or steps for managing urges and anxiety. He also supports people coping with losses, past abuse, or life transitions.

Over time sessions move from understanding problems to practical steps and review. Dennis encourages short experiments between meetings to test new ways of relating and self-care. He accepts international clients and runs a private practice in the UK.
