Denise Mulcare, BACP

Denise Mulcare is a BACP counsellor who works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and grief. She helps individuals talk through relationship concerns, parenting challenges and the everyday shocks that life can bring. Denise aims to make sessions approachable and practical so clients can start making small changes quickly.

She draws on an integrative mix of well known approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and person-centred work. That lets her match methods to a person’s situation rather than using one fixed style. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on useful steps to manage feelings and behaviour.

Denise has 12 years' experience working with adults and young people. Her background includes supporting people after loss and helping carers cope with ongoing strain. She pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns affect present difficulties.

In typical sessions clients can expect calm listening, practical exercises and gentle reflection. Denise uses mindfulness practices and thought-challenging techniques when they fit a person’s goals. She also works with issues linked to ageing and geriatric concerns in the context of other life changes.

People who choose her often want a collaborative, down-to-earth approach. To begin, she asks about current priorities and offers simple steps to try between sessions. This helps build momentum and keeps progress realistic and manageable.

How her approaches work well online

Denise uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in ways that suit online work. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying different behaviours; it can help with anxiety, depression and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with grief, coping and long-term change.

Finding the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Denise treats the choice of approach as a collaboration, checking what feels most useful and adjusting methods as goals change. She discusses practical techniques and homework so clients know what to expect between sessions.

If you plan to try online sessions, confirm the specific session options before booking since formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around work, caregiving or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and sessions that do not require being on camera if that helps someone engage more comfortably.
