Daiga Denton, BACP
Counselling that helps people reconnect mind and body
About Daiga
Daiga Denton brings eight years of counselling experience to her practice. She trained in humanistic counselling and holds BACP accreditation. Daiga works with people facing anxiety, depression and stress, and she helps with relationship and intimacy concerns too.
She explains things plainly and focuses on what a person is experiencing now. She sees each person as a whole. Daiga believes clients hold their own answers, and her role is to help find and remove the blocks that get in the way.
Background and approach
Sessions look at past experiences where those blocks began and how they affect daily life now. Her approach blends body-focused work with person-centred listening. Somatic methods help people notice physical signals that connect to emotions.
Emotionally-Focused ideas support clearer connection to feelings and to what matters in relationships. She also draws on mindfulness and existential thinking to help people face big life questions and build calm, present-moment skills. Practical steps are discussed alongside reflective exploration, so clients leave with both insight and doable ways to cope.
Daiga offers therapy in English and Latvian and works with a wide range of issues including grief, addiction, chronic illness, parenting concerns and body image. She aims for a warm, respectful space where people can find more confidence and clearer direction.
How somatic and person-centred methods work online
Daiga uses somatic work to help people notice how emotions show up in the body and uses person-centred listening to follow what matters most to the client. Somatic Therapy focuses on bodily sensations and movement to unlock feelings stored in the body, which can be useful for trauma, anxiety and chronic stress. Client-Centred Therapy puts the client's experience at the centre, offering empathy and non-judgemental support to build self-understanding and confidence. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotions so they can respond differently in relationships and personal struggles.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to choose methods that match each person's needs and goals. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the approach as work progresses, aiming for practical steps and clearer self-awareness.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat and text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls support face-to-face conversation and somatic noticing, while phone or chat can suit people who prefer less visual contact. Text options allow short, ongoing check-ins between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work from different locations.
