Dennis Richards, BACP, NCPS

Dennis Richards is an accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor based in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. He holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and the NCPS credential, a professional counselling certification. Over a decade he has worked with people facing stress and anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and difficulties with confidence and depression.

His practice draws on a range of clinical approaches including client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), hypnotherapy, solution-focused methods, and trauma-focused work. These approaches are used to tailor sessions to each person’s needs while helping them develop practical strategies and new ways of responding to challenges.

Dennis pays attention to both immediate goals and deeper patterns, supporting clients through issues such as abandonment, kink and alternative sex culture, chronic pain and illness, substance and process addictions, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose and midlife concerns, financial stress, panic disorder, phobias, post-traumatic stress, and building self-love. He emphasizes strengths and personal agency, helping people reconnect with resources they already possess.

He believes that each person is the expert on their own story and that existing strengths are key to moving forward. Dennis recognizes that starting therapy can take courage and expresses pride in those who take that first step toward change.
