About Velma
Velma Dennis is a BACP counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety, family conflicts, grief and anger. She focuses on boosting self-esteem and supporting people through workplace strain and difficult life changes. Her writing and work point to practical, down-to-earth support aimed at everyday problems.
She uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify small changes that make a difference. Sessions tend to centre on what clients want to be different and on clear, short-term steps to get there. The emphasis is on finding workable choices rather than detailed histories.
Velma aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk freely about their feelings. She listens for strengths and practical options during conversations. Clients are encouraged to notice what already works and to build on it.
Her approach suits people who want straightforward, goal-orientated work. That can include coping with panic attacks, dealing with loneliness, handling communication problems, or navigating divorce and separation. Velma also supports people facing chronic illness, grief, and issues around guilt or forgiveness.
Velma trained and practises in the United Kingdom and brings seven years of professional experience to her work. She works in English and does not accept international clients. People interested in meeting her are invited to start with a short matching process before scheduling sessions.
