Daiga Denton, BACP

Daiga Denton brings eight years of counselling experience to her work. She trained in Humanistic Counselling and holds BACP accreditation, and she combines that background with a clear, person-first way of working. Daiga speaks English and Latvian and practises from the United Kingdom, offering support for a broad range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, trauma and addiction.

Daiga looks at each person as a whole. She believes people already hold the answers they need, and she helps them uncover what stands in the way. Sessions focus on identifying past experiences that create blocks, and on finding practical ways to move through them. The aim is greater self-understanding, acceptance and confidence.

Her work draws on client-centred ideas, emotionally-focused approaches and somatic and mindfulness practices. This means she listens closely, follows the person’s lead, and brings simple body-based and present-moment techniques when they help. She uses existential questions too, helping people consider meaning and choices in their lives.

People see Daiga for many different concerns including grief, intimacy, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger and low self-esteem. She also works with issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment and blended family challenges, chronic illness, and career or life-change stress.

Sessions aim to help people notice patterns, practise new responses and build steady changes into daily life. Practical steps and gentle reflection are used together so people leave feeling more able to cope and to make choices that fit their values.

How Daiga’s approaches translate to online work

Daiga uses client-centred work and emotionally-focused ideas to help people feel heard and to deepen emotional connection to themselves. Client-centred work means the therapist follows the person’s pace and priorities, offering support rather than instructions. Emotionally-focused approaches help name and work with strong feelings in relationships and within the self.

She also draws on mindfulness and somatic practices to bring attention to the present moment and to simple body cues. Mindfulness exercises can calm racing thoughts and improve sleep, while somatic techniques help people notice how emotions show up in the body and learn gentle ways to respond.

Finding the right blend of these approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and will test different methods together, adjusting what is most useful as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process focused on what helps the individual move forward.

Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use flexible scheduling so sessions can sit alongside work, childcare and other daily commitments.
