About Dennis
Dennis Gurr is a counsellor who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and issues around intimacy and relationships. He also helps those dealing with anger, low self-esteem, ADHD and life changes. He is listed for Men's wellbeing and works from a private practice base in the United Kingdom.
Dennis uses a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. He aims to listen with empathy and without judgement. His core practice rests on honesty and positive regard, and he adapts his approach to each person rather than following a single formula.
In sessions he blends practical tools with reflective listening. That can mean using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, or person-centred conversations that focus on what matters most to the client. He also draws on motivational interviewing when people want help making changes and on existential ideas when people are weighing life meaning and choices.
His background includes six years working across human relations and systems in different roles and settings. That variety informs how he reads relational patterns and supports people through transitions such as separation, grief, or changes in caregiving roles.
Dennis works with a wide range of concerns including attachment issues, codependency, abandonment, adoption and foster care matters, body image and coping with disaster. He combines counselling, psychotherapeutic perspectives and coaching skills to help people set goals and move forward.
How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. It is useful when someone needs space to talk through feelings, build self-trust and make personal choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It can help with anxiety, depression and stress by teaching clear strategies to manage symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Dennis aims to be collaborative and will discuss different ways of working with each person. Together they can try techniques, review what helps, and adapt the focus as needs and goals evolve.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It also means tools from CBT or client-centred conversations can be continued between sessions through agreed homework and practical exercises, helping people maintain momentum.
