Daiga Denton , BACP

Daiga Denton developed an early interest in personal development, spending her youth reading self-help books and attending events focused on emotional growth. She went on to earn a First Class degree in Humanistic Counselling from the University of Nottingham in 2011, a foundation that shapes her compassionate, person-focused practice.

Her work has primarily involved supporting people who seek help for anxiety and depression, while recognising that those experiences usually sit alongside a wider set of feelings and life challenges. Over time she has worked with a broad range of difficulties that often underlie a person's distress, from relationship and family concerns to trauma, grief and issues around self-esteem and identity.

Daiga approaches each person as a whole, believing that clients carry their own knowledge and wisdom about what will help them heal. She focuses on identifying the blocks, often rooted in past experience, that make it hard to access that inner resource. Rather than directing decisions, she guides clients to uncover and remove those obstacles so they can discover their own answers.

Through collaborative exploration of how people function, and by examining the origins of current difficulties, clients can develop greater self-understanding, acceptance, belief and confidence. The result is often a clearer sense of direction and a more fulfilling life. She looks forward to working with clients.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Support

Daiga works from a humanistic, client-centered perspective that prioritises the individual's experience and capacity for growth. This approach relies on empathy, respectful listening and collaboration to help people explore their values and uncover inner resources - it is often useful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions and emotional distress.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps clients identify, understand and work with core emotions, particularly within relationships and attachment patterns. EFT can be helpful for couples work, attachment-related difficulties and processing strong emotional responses.

Existential therapy is another strand in her practice, inviting clients to explore meaning, choice and responsibility in the face of life challenges. This approach supports people wrestling with grief, life changes and questions about purpose.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapeutic process. Daiga collaborates with each person to determine which approaches best match their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the work as understanding deepens.

Online therapy sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from various locations and to continue consistent work even when life is busy or circumstances change.
