Declan Kent , BACP

Declan Kent offers a personalized, integrative approach to therapy informed by both clinical experience and academic training. He began his career working in clinical environments where he encountered a wide range of challenging behaviours and responses. Rather than viewing these presentations purely as problems, he approaches them as challenges to understand and work through, believing that most people do not choose to feel or act in ways that cause them distress.

Early volunteering led him to roles as an honorary assistant psychologist across several hospitals, where he drew on knowledge from an undergraduate degree in psychology to observe different treatment methods. Seeking deeper training in the practice of helping others, he completed a masters in counselling and psychotherapy. That training expanded his assessment skills, therapeutic language, and familiarity with a broader set of treatment styles.

Passionate about his work, Declan uses an integrative method that adapts therapeutic approaches to the needs of each individual client. He emphasizes tailor-made care that explores the issue from useful perspectives and aims to guide clients rather than dictate answers - ultimately recognising that each person is the expert on their own experience. He holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.
