Denis Victor – Counsellor & Founder of Acorn Therapy
Qualifications: BA (Hons) Integrative Counselling; FDA Integrative Counselling; Cert. Integrative Counselling; BACP Accredited Counsellor.
I grew up in Uganda, surrounded by many cultures, languages, and ways of life. From an early age, this shaped my curiosity about identity, belonging, and the human experience.
My journey began in education as a secondary school teacher, before moving to the UK where I trained and worked as a youth worker for many years. I later trained as a counselling psychotherapist, bringing together my professional experience and my lived understanding of what it means to live between cultures. As an immigrant within an intercultural family for over two decades, I have seen firsthand how culture and context shape our inner lives.
I see therapy not as finding the “right” way to be, but as learning to belong to yourself. My role is to offer a thoughtful, supportive space where you can slow down, tune in, and make sense of what matters to you—so your inner voice becomes something you trust. Together, we work towards creating an inner sense of home, grounded in care, understanding, and what feels true to you.
