About Declan Kent
Declan Kent is a counsellor who blends formal training with practical clinical experience to deliver personalised therapy. He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on an undergraduate degree in psychology followed by a masters in counselling and psychotherapy to inform his work.
Early in his career he volunteered and served as an honorary assistant psychologist in multiple hospital settings, observing a wide range of challenging behaviours and learning from established treatment approaches. Those experiences shaped his belief that presenting behaviours are often responses to difficult circumstances rather than fixed traits.
He uses an integrative method, selecting techniques and frameworks that best fit each person rather than relying on a single modality. He emphasises tailored care, working with clients to explore issues from relevant perspectives and to choose the most helpful tools for the situation.
Passionate about this work, he frames his role as a guide rather than an all-knowing authority - the person in therapy remains the expert on their own life while he helps navigate thoughts, feelings and practical steps toward change.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take actions that align with their personal values - it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, exploring how these influence current connections and emotional responses - it is often used when relational difficulties, intimacy issues or attachment concerns are present.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and offers practical strategies to change them; it is commonly applied to anxiety, low mood, and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Declan Kent works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts strategies over time as therapy progresses so the plan remains responsive and practical.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call or phone as well as shorter formats like live chat or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to access support around work, family commitments or mobility limits, and they enable ongoing continuity of care even when schedules or locations change. Licensed professionals and therapists can use these formats effectively to deliver structured, goal-focused work and supportive conversation.
