Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Dennis draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a listening space where the person’s own goals and perspectives guide the work - this approach emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and helping people find their own solutions to issues like relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, or life transitions.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with change. Motivational Interviewing is another approach he employs to help people explore ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be particularly relevant for addictions, behaviour change, and readiness to act.
Choosing the right method is part of the therapeutic process - Dennis works collaboratively with each person to determine which approaches best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques over time as progress is made. Online sessions - whether by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexible ways to access therapy from different locations, accommodate varied schedules, and maintain continuity of support when in-person meetings are not possible.
