​

Denise’s approach to therapy is humanistic and in line with the Transactional Analysis philosophy that ‘People are born OK’ and have an inner ability to grow towards health, self-realisation and well-being. Denise believes in the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. Her view is that present issues are often linked to repressed experiences from childhood or traumatic events that were not able to be understood, empathised with and resolved – leading to limiting beliefs about self, others and life.

Within the caring, non-judgemental and empathic stance of the therapeutic relationship, clients can learn to better understand and accept themselves, and feel empowered to make new fulfilling choices about their life.

​

Denise has experience working with individuals, couples and groups within areas including anxiety, depression, abuse, low self-esteem, loss, fertility, postnatal depression, menopause, eating disorders and couple, relationship, sex and sexuality issues. Her aim is to facilitate a safe, trusting and authentic therapeutic environment that can help clients explore freely their difficulties as well as challenge their limiting beliefs and unhelpful relationship patterns.
