About Denise

Denise Boyle is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 17 years of experience. She works with adults and teenagers who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, grief, parenting pressures, and feeling stuck. She also supports people with ADHD and neurodivergent needs.

She uses clear, practical ways of working that match how each person communicates and learns. Many sessions look at thoughts, behaviours and short-term goals to reduce overwhelming feelings. Denise also draws on problem-solving methods to focus on what is most helpful now.

A large part of her practice is neurodiversity-affirming support for people with Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD and related profiles. She adjusts pace, language and expectations so sessions fit how someone prefers to think and process.

Denise often helps with family tensions, blended family issues, separation and communication problems. She also accompanies people facing chronic illness, cancer, caregiver stress and bereavement, aiming to reduce pressure and increase practical coping strategies.

Her style is collaborative and strength-based. She encourages small, manageable steps and practical tools you can use between sessions. To begin, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the service button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Denise uses client-centred methods that start by listening to what matters to each person. This approach focuses on the person’s priorities and preferred pace, and is helpful for discussing feelings, relationships and coping strategies. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which looks at how thoughts, moods and behaviours interact. CBT work often involves practical exercises and short experiments to try between sessions, useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Solution-Focused Therapy is another part of her practice. This method narrows in on small, achievable goals and builds on existing strengths to create change more quickly. Finding the right mix is part of the work. Denise treats choosing an approach as a collaborative step. She will talk through goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a plan that can be adjusted as needed. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life. Many people find virtual appointments reduce travel time, allow for shorter check-ins, and let them work around school or work commitments. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, confirm the exact online options offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can help decide which session type suits your schedule and needs.
