Denise Apedu

Hello, my name is Denise Damalli Apedu, and I am an integrative counsellor dedicated to supporting well-being across the lifespan. With a Master in Counselling and Psychotherapy, a BSc in Psychology, and a Nursing Foundation Degree, I bring a strong academic foundation and a wealth of practical experience to my work with clients. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with both young people and adults, helping them navigate a diverse range of emotional and psychological challenges. My specialist experience includes supporting neurodivergent clients, such as those who are autistic or have ADHD. I am deeply committed to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space where every individual feels genuinely heard, respected, and valued. I believe that each person’s journey is unique, and I tailor my therapeutic approach to meet the distinct needs and goals of those I work with. My practice is integrative, blending Person-Centred Therapy to foster warmth and empathy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to address and reshape unhelpful patterns of thought and behaviour, and Gestalt principles to facilitate present-moment awareness and personal growth. Central to my philosophy is the conviction that every individual holds the capacity for change, healing, and transformation. When offered skilled support and genuine understanding, people can unlock their potential and move towards greater well-being.
