Denise Wallis MBACP (Accred)

Denise Wallis MBACP (Accred) is a degree-level qualified integrative counsellor who uses a blend of therapeutic approaches, including person-centred work, cognitive behavioural techniques (CBT) and transactional analysis (TA). She is a BACP Accredited member and supports clients in exploring their difficulties, identifying triggers and causes, reducing symptoms and developing greater self-awareness.

Denise works with whatever a client brings into the session, using careful exploration to gain deeper insight and teaching practical skills that can be applied across different areas of life. She has spent over 12 years running an anxiety and OCD-focused organisation, guiding people to understand and address problems such as generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety, driving phobias, fear of being alone and bereavement, among others.

She offers a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can examine their symptoms and explore ways to manage them to a more workable level. When contacted, Denise will look at the specific symptoms, feelings and behaviours that are causing distress and work collaboratively to find healthy ways to relieve those difficulties. She does not make decisions about what is right for clients; her role is to support thorough exploration and to assist clients in making their own choices. Initial contact also provides an opportunity to check whether the client feels comfortable working with her.

For clients outside the UK, Denise applies duty of care procedures that require an emergency contact number for someone who can call for help and a What3Words location code for where the client is during sessions. The nominated contact need only be able to call for assistance and would not be told the nature of the counselling; this information is retained for use only in an emergency. As Denise is based in the UK, her work is provided in line with UK regulations, laws and ethical guidelines, and any concerns about the service would need to be addressed within the UK. If someone is in a crisis and needs urgent help, this platform is not able to provide that; the front page at the very bottom includes a link to resources for the country a person is in. If prospective clients have questions they are invited to send them as a message in the therapy room before booking any sessions, and those who consent to these guidelines may proceed to book a session.
