About me
Profile Photo © Dennis Rice - Strictly No Reuse.
A warm welcome. My name is Dennis and I am a highly skilled and experienced therapist offering cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and gestalt psychotherapy to help your anxiety, your depression, addiction, a loss or bereavement; or just a general feeling that life is overwhelming you at present.
I use IAPT, GAD7 and Phobia Questionnaires to first gain an insight into the severity of your issues. We then work on a CBT formulation to examine what may be maintaining the problem (s), and then explore how we can use cognitive and behavioural strategies to bring change. Typically clients and I meet for a minimum of six sessions.
My fees are £75 per single 50-minute session, or £400 if you pay for six in advance. Couples sessions are charged at £140 per 50 minute session.
I make no charge for an initial 15 minute phone session if you wish to simply want to inquire about therapy.
Save time in advance of our sessions and download the forms below and send them to me before:

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
Areas of counselling I deal with
Other areas of counselling I deal with
I also work with clients who express what some psychotherapists refer to as "complicated grief," that is to say feelings around loss which are so overwhelming that it feels like you can't move on, that they just won't go away.
I am also interested in how the body itself can hold and remember trauma going way back, and also how stimulating and mobilised clients can become when they start to get back in touch with what is going on in their bodies.
