About Denis Bruce

Denis Bruce is a BACP Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with 25 years of full-time experience, offering grounded and experienced support for people facing anxiety, trauma, self-esteem concerns, relationship difficulties, burnout, and life transitions. He has worked with individuals from a wide variety of backgrounds, helping them navigate moments when they feel overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about next steps.

His practice is practical and non-judgmental, emphasising collaboration and clarity. Denis draws on an integrative range of methods, including cognitive behavioural approaches (CBT), dialectical strategies (DBT), eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR), transactional analysis (TA), mindfulness techniques, and integrative psychotherapy to tailor the work to each person's needs. At the core of his approach is a strong therapeutic relationship - a space where people feel seen, heard, and understood as they explore patterns and develop new ways forward.

Assessment begins with understanding present experience, then progresses at a pace set by the client, whether through structured, goal-focused work or a more reflective process. Denis aims to help people identify and shift unhelpful patterns, build practical coping strategies, and strengthen self-awareness and resilience. Clients often describe him as warm, thoughtful, and calm, and he focuses on supporting meaningful, lasting change rather than offering quick fixes.

Denis is accredited by the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which recognises professional training and practice standards in the UK.
