Declan Kent, BACP

Declan Kent is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. He helps people who are struggling with anger as well as related problems such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship troubles and low self-esteem. Sessions are aimed at practical change rather than labels or dramatic promises.

Declan trained in psychology at undergraduate level and then completed a masters in counselling and psychotherapy. Early roles included voluntary work as an honorary assistant psychologist in hospital settings where he observed many different behaviours and treatment approaches. That experience shaped his interest in practical, evidence-informed ways to approach difficult feelings.

He uses an integrative style, drawing on several methods to suit the person in front of him. Declan describes therapy as a collaborative process where he helps people explore challenges and apply approaches that fit their life. He emphasises clear language and useful skills rather than technical jargon.

In sessions he focuses on identifying what drives reactive behaviour and finding workable alternatives. That can include learning new coping strategies, examining relationship patterns, or attending to shame, guilt and impulsivity that sit under the surface. He also supports people dealing with grief, trauma, addiction and issues around intimacy and identity.

People come to him for help with day-to-day problems and bigger life transitions. Declan aims to guide practical steps that make anger easier to live with and less likely to damage important relationships. He asks clients to be active in the work and to bring real situations from their lives to each session.
