About Velma
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 7 years of professional experience, Velma Dennis helps people manage stress, anxiety, family difficulties, grief and anger. She also supports concerns around self esteem, abandonment, chronic illness and pain, communication problems and workplace issues.
Velma uses Solution-Focused Therapy to help people identify small, practical steps that lead to change. Sessions focus on what is working now and on realistic next steps people can try between meetings. Conversations are direct and aimed at finding useful strategies rather than long explanations.
In sessions she listens for specific goals and builds short-term plans to move toward them. People can expect questions about recent exceptions to their difficulties and about moments when life felt easier. The emphasis is on actions and adjustments clients can make week to week.
She also addresses emotional themes such as guilt, shame, jealousy and isolation by helping people notice patterns and test different responses in daily life. Practical coping for panic attacks, communication practice, and strategies for balancing control issues or relationship changes are part of her work.
Velma presents straightforward options for dealing with grief and separation and helps people rebuild confidence and self-love through focused steps. To begin, readers should check the online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire to schedule an initial session.

How Solution-Focused methods work for online sessions
Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on clear goals and small, practical steps. In online sessions Velma will ask about times when a problem is less severe and explore what is different in those moments. This approach suits stress, anxiety, communication issues and problems where quick, testable changes can make a difference.She also uses straightforward planning to manage grief, anger and workplace tensions. That means setting short-term actions, reviewing what helped, and adjusting the plan as needed. The process is collaborative: the therapist and client decide together which moves to try and how to measure progress.
Registered or accredited professionals often offer online sessions to make meetings easier to fit into everyday life. Please confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Online work can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy week and make it easier to continue work when life is hectic. The therapist will discuss which approach and session length best match a client's needs and preferences.
