Using a wide network of approaches I intend to make therapy a unique and tailored process for my clients. I began my career in clinical environments, where I observed many individuals with many different challenging behaviours. Though where others saw a problem I saw it as just that; a challenge. Inherently I knew that these patients did not want to act this way, nor feel the way they feel. I volunteered and became an honorary assistant psychologist at many hospitals, and using what I had learnt from my undergrad in psychology, attempted to absorb as much information about some of the treatments these hospitals used. But it wasn't enough, and I needed to know more about the process of helping others using psychological theory. That's when I underwent my masters in counselling and psychotherapy and with that a new respect for a wider array of treatment styles. Here I learnt language skills, assessment criteria and of course; how to use what I knew at that time to become the best counsellor I could be.
I am extremely passionate about my work, as to me, I couldn't see myself in this world doing anything else.
I use an integrative method for my clients, which means I use the appropriate method/approach for the individual. I like to reinforce that tailor-made aspect of my therapy with my clients, to firmly delve into the issue or challenge at hand and to explore it from the best perspective. And ultimately, that's how I see therapy, I am not an expect on all things emotion and thought, I merely act as a guide for you, as ultimatly you are the expect of yourself.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Declan Kent. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Declan has been amazing, he understands what I need even when when I don't. He's really perceptive and has helped me reframe parts of my relationship that have been troubling. I'm too close to things that are going on and he can see things from a different perspective. He's kind and gentle and I feel like he's with me all the way. I would absolutely recommend him.
