More From Denese

Hello, my name is Denese and I'm a BACP registered Relationship Counsellor with over 23 years’ experience. I am certified in Imago Therapy, which helps couples move from hurt and disconnection towards greater love and understanding. Alongside this, I work as an integrative therapist, drawing on a range of approaches to suit the unique needs of each couple or individual.

Many couples come to me feeling stuck in the same painful cycles, often misunderstood, angry, or unsure if their relationship can continue. Others feel so distant that they question whether to stay together or separate. Therapy offers a calm, non-judgemental space where both partners can speak openly and feel truly heard.

Together, we will explore what triggers conflict and create new ways of communicating that reduce defensiveness and build understanding. This can help you reconnect, develop trust, and strengthen your relationship. If change proves impossible, counselling can still support you to separate with kindness and mutual respect, allowing both of you to move forward positively.

Ethical practice
As a BACP member, I follow their code of ethics, undertake regular supervision and ongoing professional development, and hold full professional indemnity insurance.
