Daiga Denton , BACP

Daiga Denton has long been drawn to personal development and supporting others on their healing journeys. From early days spent reading self-help books and attending growth-focused events, she went on to earn a First Class degree in Humanistic Counselling from the University of Nottingham in 2011 and later developed a practice shaped by compassion and curiosity.

Across eight years of professional work, she has supported people facing anxiety and depression as well as the wide range of difficulties that often underlie those experiences. Her work spans stress, relationships, family concerns, trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting challenges, anger, self-esteem, career transitions and coping with life changes, among other areas.

Daiga adopts a humanistic, client-centered stance that views each person as the expert on their own life. She believes that people already possess the wisdom and answers they need, and that therapy is a collaborative process of identifying and removing the blocks - often rooted in past experiences - that prevent access to that inner knowledge. In practice she helps clients explore how they function, process difficult emotions, and trace how patterns formed, so they can arrive at their own solutions.

Clients can expect work aimed at greater self-understanding, increased self-acceptance and strengthened self-belief, all supporting a more fulfilling and balanced life. She is registered with BACP, a professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom, and offers therapy in English and Latvian from the United Kingdom.

Approaches Daiga uses for online therapy

Daiga draws on client-centered therapy, a humanistic approach that emphasizes listening, empathy and respect so clients can explore their own values and solutions. This method is helpful for building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem and addressing life transitions or relationship concerns.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), which focuses on identifying and processing core emotions to improve attachment and relational patterns. EFT can be useful for couples work and for people who want to understand how emotions shape their interactions and personal choices.

Mindfulness therapy is woven into her practice to help clients become more present with difficult thoughts and feelings, reducing reactivity and supporting emotional regulation. This approach suits people coping with anxiety, stress and ongoing emotional distress.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey. Daiga works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the path as understanding deepens.

Online therapy with Daiga is available by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, which offers flexibility for busy schedules and for clients who live at a distance. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different formats and access support in ways that fit daily life.
