Denise O'Connell
About me
I have worked as a qualified counsellor for over 20 years. I offer both couple and individual counselling. I can help with: relationship problems, anxiety, depression, ill health, loss and low self-worth.
I work in a sensitive and respectful way and I am optimistic about human nature. I believe that we have an innate ability to problem solve, heal and grow, however life's events and circumstances can affect our potential to access this natural part of ourselves. I provide a safe non-judgmental space where you can reflect and begin to see yourself and your circumstances in a new light.

There is no charge for an initial meeting which will provide an opportunity for us to see if my service would be helpful for you.

Member organisations
Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
