Daiga Denton , BACP

Daiga Denton developed an early interest in personal development that guided her toward a career in counselling. She studied humanistic approaches and graduated from the University of Nottingham in 2011 with a First Class degree in Humanistic Counselling. Over time she has supported people seeking help for anxiety and depression and has worked with a broad range of issues that often lie beneath those presenting concerns.

Daiga views each person as a whole and believes clients carry the knowledge and wisdom needed to lead a healthier, more fulfilling life. When clients are struggling, she looks for the blocks rooted in past experience that make access to that inner wisdom difficult. Her role is not to give answers but to collaborate with clients to identify those barriers and explore practical ways to move past them.

Through their work together clients can develop clearer self-understanding, greater self-acceptance, stronger self-belief and improved confidence. These changes support more satisfying relationships and everyday functioning. Daiga aims to help people gain clarity and resilience so they can move forward with renewed direction and purpose. She looks forward to working with those ready to begin that process.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online sessions

Daiga draws on client-centered therapy, emotionally-focused therapy and mindfulness therapy in her work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and creating a supportive space so the client can explore their own answers - this approach is helpful for building self-understanding and confidence. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and shifting emotional patterns, especially in relationships and attachment-related difficulties. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce the grip of stressful thoughts, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Daiga works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the work as those needs evolve.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility, allowing people to attend from home or while traveling and to choose the format that suits their schedule and communication style. This variety can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to integrate therapy into a busy life.
