Daiga Denton , BACP

Daiga Denton trained in Humanistic Counselling and brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice. She uses that background to help people who are anxious, depressed, grieving or caught in difficult life transitions. Daiga speaks English and Latvian and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Her work treats each person as a whole. She believes clients hold their own answers and that therapy is about uncovering blocks that stop those answers from emerging. Sessions focus on identifying those blocks and finding practical ways to move past them.

Daiga draws on several approaches to suit the person in front of her. She integrates client-centred ways of listening with mindfulness and somatic methods to help people become more aware of their feelings and bodily responses. She also uses emotionally focused and existential ideas to look at relationship patterns and meaning in life.

Over the years she has helped people manage stress, relationship struggles, trauma and issues around self-esteem. Other concerns she addresses include addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, grief, parenting pressures, career change and coping with chronic illness.

Sessions are conversational and paced to each person's needs. The emphasis is on clarity and practical next steps rather than labels. Daiga aims to help clients build greater self-awareness, self-acceptance and confidence so they can make changes that matter.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals and values. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at emotional patterns in relationships and within oneself to help people notice and change repeating responses. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals and preferences. That might mean trying mindfulness for stress, somatic attention for bodily tension, or emotionally-focussed work for relationship patterns, and then adjusting as needed.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to work. Video calls are useful for a full conversation and visual connection, while phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or suit lower bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter reflections, written check-ins and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel and let people keep continuity of care when life circumstances change.
