I had my concerns about doing therapy online and wasn't sure if I will be matched with a suitable therapist, but I have to say that Denis Bruce has been very understanding and helped me open my eyes to new ideas and ways of framing and understanding my position, emotions and patterns in ways I didn't realize before. I would highly recommend him as I see myself continuing therapy with him to better understand myself and the world around me.

Denis my therapist is very accommodating of my concern. He’s feedback was really helpful and easy to understand. I’m aware that I have still a long journey to heal but I believe he can help and guide me through. But of course I have to help myself too.

Hello, and welcome.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I’m glad you’re here. I’m Denis, a BACP Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with over 25 years of experience.
I tend to work best with people who are reflecting on relationship patterns, attachment dynamics, and the impact of earlier life experiences. Many of the people I support are navigating issues around self-esteem, confidence, identity, and a sense of meaning or direction in life.
My approach is calm, thoughtful, and collaborative. I offer a space where you can slow things down, make sense of what’s going on, and begin to understand yourself at a deeper level. Rather than focusing on quick fixes, our work is about building insight, awareness, and lasting change.
At the heart of therapy is the relationship, and I aim to provide a space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. From there, we can begin to explore patterns, develop new ways of responding, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and grounded.
I work best with clients who are open to reflection and able to engage in a consistent piece of work. I don’t typically work with clients in immediate crisis or those looking for highly structured, solution-only approaches.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
