About Denise Richards
Denise Richards recognises that beginning counselling can feel overwhelming, and she offers a steady, supportive presence throughout the process of self-discovery. She accompanies people as they explore the range of emotions, thoughts and reactions that have shaped their lives, helping them make clearer sense of where they are and where they want to be.
In the therapy room she creates a space where individuals are free to be themselves while together they gently uncover underlying feelings, memories and behaviour patterns from both the past and the present. Her work often involves helping clients identify recurring themes and understand the impact those patterns have had - a gradual process of peeling back layers to reveal what lies beneath. Emotions that arise during this work can include sadness, anger, relief and even moments of laughter, and she remains present alongside the client throughout.
Denise works with people coping with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, domestic abuse, depression and trauma, and she supports those facing relationship, family and life-transition challenges. Her approach is nonjudgmental and client-centered, aiming to help each person make sense of their circumstances and move toward a more authentic and balanced life. She brings six years of therapeutic experience to her practice and supports adults across different stages of life.
As an integrative counsellor Denise draws on a variety of therapeutic models to suit individual needs, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Her formal training includes a Post-Graduate Diploma in Humanistic Integrative Counselling, a Diploma and a Certificate in Humanistic Integrative Counselling, and she is a registered member of the BACP - the professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists. Additional professional development includes training in areas such as road traffic victims, psychiatry, psychodynamics and psychopathology, time-limited counselling, CBT and working therapeutically with children and young people.
Her professional background includes therapeutic roles with organisations that support survivors and disadvantaged groups, such as 1 in 4, CPPD Low-Cost Service, Women’s Aid, Hestia and Settle, as well as work in educational settings including LEA Academy and various projects supporting children and young people. Denise has also worked in private practice, providing counselling to clients of different ages and needs.
