About Me
Dr William 'Russ' Denny CPsychol AFBPsS
Chartered Counselling Psychologist
Hello, I'm Dr William "Russ" Denny, a Chartered Counselling Psychologist and Associate Fellow of the British Psychological Society. I am registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC) and have been providing psychological therapy since 2016.
I understand that seeking support can feel daunting. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress, trauma, relationship difficulties, loss, or simply feeling stuck in life, taking the first step towards support is often the hardest part.
My approach is collaborative, practical and compassionate. I believe that every person is unique, and there is no single therapeutic approach that works for everyone. I work alongside my clients to understand their experiences, identify meaningful goals, and develop an approach that fits their individual needs.
As a Counselling Psychologist, I draw upon a range of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Person-Centred Therapy, Systemic approaches, and mindfulness-based interventions. This allows therapy to be tailored to you rather than expecting you to fit a particular model.
Throughout my career I have worked with people experiencing a wide range of difficulties, from everyday life challenges through to complex and enduring mental health concerns. I have a particular interest in trauma, attachment difficulties, self-esteem, identity, and helping people navigate periods of significant change in their lives.
Alongside my private practice, I have held senior leadership positions within psychological services and have worked with a range of organisations supporting individuals facing significant personal challenges. These experiences have reinforced my belief that meaningful change is possible when people are provided with the right support, understanding and opportunity to reflect.
My aim is simple. To provide a safe, professional and welcoming space where you can explore your experiences openly, gain greater understanding of yourself, and develop the confidence and skills needed to move forward.
If you would like to discuss how therapy may help, please feel free to get in touch.
