About Denis
Denis Bruce welcomes people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure of what to do next. He is a BACP counsellor with 25 years of experience and offers steady, practical support for stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. Denis aims to make the first step easier by listening without judgement and responding in plain language.
He uses a relaxed, collaborative style. Sessions begin by looking at what is happening now.
Background and approach
Together the client and therapist identify patterns and try simple, useful strategies that can be tested between sessions. Denis blends short-term techniques with deeper work when needed, so sessions can be goal-focused or more exploratory depending on the person. Trauma and abuse are among the issues he helps with, and he also works with grief, addiction, anger and self-esteem difficulties.
He draws on approaches such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, cognitive behavioural ideas, and attachment-focused work to support change at different levels. Denis has many years of experience helping people cope with life changes, chronic health challenges, parenting stress and career pressure. He talks through practical steps for sleeping problems, intimacy-related strain and challenges that come from caregiving roles.
Sessions are offered in English and he works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Therapy is delivered online through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Denis uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Online support
Approaches that shape online sessions
Denis uses therapeutic ideas that suit both short-term goals and deeper emotional work. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people make different choices in relationships and emotional responses. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches straightforward skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful habits. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) offers a way to process traumatic memories so they feel less overwhelming and easier to live with.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Denis will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest a mix of methods. The therapist and client make those choices together and review progress as therapy continues.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in, and live chat or text messaging suit people who prefer writing or need frequent brief support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
