My ideal client is anyone interested in truly exploring themselves and their life. In truth, I am no different to you, I am a person in life, dealing with ups and downs, challenges and anxieties. Life is difficult. I have however explored my own difficulties at great length as well as always being deeply curious about others. For me, working as a counsellor, is a chance to explore with another their world, and together to look at ways in which we can understand it better, hopefully bringing a bit more ease, stability and maybe even enjoyment!

I believe the secret to successful therapy is the therapeutic relationship, so I suggest you contact a few therapist and see if you 'click'. A lot of my clients come to me with anxiety, depression or relationship issues, many have terminal illnesses, trauma or identity issues, so I use an integrated approach that allows a flexible treatment that is tailored specifically to their needs. I offer a full range of talking therapies, while I specialise in more creative modalities, as sometimes words are just not enough and it's more about feeling safe with someone you trust as you work through your difficulties.

Hello, I’m Denise Palmer. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in cycles of anxiety, low confidence, or struggling to maintain changes they’ve worked hard to achieve — particularly around weight, food, or wellbeing. If you’re finding that old habits, stress, or self-doubt are creeping back in, you’re not alone. I help adults move away from feeling controlled by anxiety, emotional eating, or self-criticism, and towards feeling calmer, more confident, and better equipped to manage life’s pressures in a sustainable way.

I have come to counselling and psychotherapy as my second career after spending over 25 years in the corporate sector as part of the human resources function for global technology companies.

I have navigated challenging life experiences and have grown and found peace through my own personal therapy. I’m versatile in my clinical approach, drawing from a rich theoretical foundation having trained as an Integrative Psychotherapist.

Women's Issues Counsellors
How do you encourage a woman to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual may be suffering, and what effects it has on them, should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can women prepare for therapy?
Women can prepare for therapy by being willing to talk about their past experiences and their private thoughts. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. Between sessions, it can be useful to write down notes about their reaction to a given event or how they felt at a particular time.
How long does therapy for women’s issues often last?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual and the challenges they face. Therapy types like Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Prolonged exposure therapy (PET), and Eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing (EMDR) can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. In some cases, such as for women with eating disorders, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realised.
How can women overcome stigma around specific challenges in order to seek therapy?
Women dealing with domestic abuse, sexual assault, eating disorders, and any other number of troubles may feel a stigma around seeking help. It’s important to remember that these issues are not uncommon and there is no shame in getting help for them. Therapy is confidential, and women can talk about their experiences without fear of judgment. Seeking therapy can be a courageous and liberating act, and an important step toward healing and recovery.
