Daiga Denton, BACP

Daiga Denton brings a lifelong interest in personal development to her professional work, beginning with a deep engagement with self-help and personal growth from an early age and culminating in a First Class degree in Humanistic Counselling from the University of Nottingham in 2011. With eight years of clinical experience, she has supported people facing anxiety and depression as well as the wider range of emotions and life difficulties that often underlie those concerns.

Her approach treats each person as a whole individual who already carries the knowledge and inner resources needed for change. Rather than offering prescriptive advice, she focuses on helping clients identify the blocks that prevent access to their own wisdom, exploring how past experiences have shaped present patterns. This collaborative stance draws on humanistic principles to create space for clients to discover their own answers.

Working with a broad spectrum of issues - from relationship and family challenges to trauma, grief, addiction, and self-esteem struggles - she aims to help people increase self-understanding, self-acceptance, resilience, and confidence. Her practice supports clients in finding practical ways forward and building a more fulfilling life. Daiga is a registered member of BACP, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and offers therapy in English and Latvian.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Daiga works from a client-centered perspective, which means the therapist places the client at the centre of the work, listening deeply and supporting the client to access their own resources and insights. This approach is helpful for people seeking greater self-understanding, acceptance, and clearer decision-making when facing life challenges.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help people and couples identify and work with patterns in emotional responses and attachment needs. EFT can be especially useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and processing strong emotions linked to loss or trauma. In addition, mindfulness-based techniques are integrated to help clients develop present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, supporting work with stress, anxiety, and ongoing life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Daiga will work with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible match.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it possible to receive consistent support from registered professionals without the need to travel, and they can be adapted to suit the pace and style that best serve each client.
