Dennis Richards, BACP, NCPS

Dennis Richards is an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction issues, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, eating concerns and anger. He also supports people facing career questions and those looking for coaching-style help with life direction.

Dennis treats clients as the primary expert in their lives. He focuses on practical conversations that help people name the problem and try different ways of responding. Sessions are straightforward and aimed at finding workable changes that can reduce snapping at loved ones, ease workplace frustration, or manage built-up resentment.

His approach combines person-centred listening with structured tools. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) ideas are used when patterns of thinking and behaviour need shifting. Trauma-focused work, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), is offered for those dealing with past harm or post-traumatic stress.

Dennis also uses solution-focused techniques and hypnotherapy where they fit the client’s aims. He draws on these options to help with problems such as panic attacks, process addictions, chronic pain, and issues linked to shame or abandonment. He is a BACP member and holds NCPS credentials.

Sessions are conducted in English and Dennis accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and are paid through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, select the See online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
