A safe space to talk, heal, and grow

Sometimes life feels heavy, confusing, or just not quite right. You might be struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-doubt, relationship difficulties, or feeling disconnected — even without a clear reason.

Individual therapy offers a safe, confidential space to explore what’s going on beneath the surface. Together, we can make sense of your experiences, understand patterns shaped by the past, and help you reconnect with yourself in a kinder, more grounded way.

Over time, therapy can help you trust your voice, honour your needs, and build more authentic, balanced relationships — with yourself and others.

Baesd in Taunton- Somerset UK, I Ioffer inclusive online counselling and psychotherapy for adolescents and teenagers, college and universirty students, young adults, adult men and women, parents, trainee counselling and therapy students, employees, and people living abroad.

You don’t have to go through this alone.

Online Therapy That Fits Your Life

Online therapy offers you the chance to access professional support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. Sessions are conducted through secure online platforms, providing the same depth, care, and effectiveness as in-person therapy. It is fully confidential and secure, accessible wherever you are, and designed to be flexible and convenient. This approach is suitable for clients both in Uganda and internationally, making professional mental health support easier to reach than ever.

My Approach

At Acorn Therapy, I believe that healing begins when you feel safe, heard, and understood. My approach is person-centred and trauma-informed, compassionate and non-judgemental, collaborative and respectful of your pace, and grounded in professional counselling and psychotherapy practice. Just like an acorn holds the potential to grow into a strong tree, even small steps in therapy can lead to meaningful growth and lasting change. More about my approach can be found here.

About Me

My name is Denis Victor, a counsellor and psychotherapist with experience supporting individuals through emotional pain, trauma, and life challenges. I am passionate about creating a calm, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their stories and discover their inner strengths.
