Online Therapy Cheltenham -The Cotswolds & across the UK | Acorn Therapy
Personal, supportive Therapy wherever you are in Cheltenham -The Cotswolds & across the UK
I’m Denis Victor, a qualified integrative counsellor based in Cheltenham -The Cotswolds & across the UK . Through Acorn Therapy, I offer online counselling and video sessions to teenagers, college and university students, young adults and parents across the UK.
You don’t have to live in Cheltenham or Gloucestershire to work with me. Wherever you are in the UK, we can meet online in a private space where you feel comfortable and able to talk openly.
With around nine years of counselling experience, alongside 15 years of working with young people before my counselling training, I understand that life can sometimes feel difficult to manage. You might be dealing with anxiety, low mood, exam pressure, loneliness, family difficulties, relationship problems, questions about identity, or the challenges of moving into adulthood. Perhaps you are a parent worried about your teenager and unsure how best to support them.
You don’t need to have everything figured out before getting in touch. You can come as you are, and we can work things through at your pace.
Who I work with
Teenagers: Support with anxiety, friendships, school or college pressures, confidence, family changes, emotional difficulties and feeling misunderstood.
College and university students: A space to explore academic stress, loneliness, relationships, independence, financial worries and the transition to adult life.
Young adults: Support with identity, self-esteem, relationships, work, life choices, uncertainty and the pressures of finding your own way.
Parents and carers: An opportunity to explore concerns about your child, family relationships, communication and the challenges of supporting a young person who may be struggling.
What is online Therapy like?
Online counselling allows us to meet by video without you needing to travel. You can join from home or another private, suitable space, making it easier to fit sessions around school, university, work and family life.
My approach is integrative and person-centred. This means I take time to understand you as an individual rather than assuming that one approach will work for everyone. I draw on my counselling training and experience to help you explore what is happening, make sense of your feelings and find ways forward that feel right for you.
You don’t have to be good at talking about your feelings. You might not know where to start, or you may feel uncertain about counselling altogether. That is absolutely fine. Building trust takes time, and there is no pressure to share everything at once.

Online Therapy: Flexible Support, Wherever Life Takes You
Online therapy is a practical and effective option when you’re away from home—whether you’re on a business trip or holiday—ensuring your emotional support stays consistent wherever you are. It’s particularly valuable during times of illness, injury, or post-surgery recovery, when traveling to sessions may not be possible.
If you’re housebound or find it challenging to leave home, virtual counselling offers a comfortable, accessible alternative. It’s also ideal for parents balancing childcare—especially after giving birth or when it’s difficult to step away—allowing therapy to fit into your day without disruption. If you’re a sole caregiver needing to stay close to someone who depends on you, online sessions help you continue prioritizing your mental health.
Couples counselling can be just as effective online—even if you and your partner are in separate locations but available at the same time.
Best of all, online therapy ensures continuity of care. If you move away from Cheltenham to another part of the UK—or even abroad—you can still work with the same therapist. With today’s technology, remote sessions offer the same depth of connection and therapeutic quality as traditional in-person meetings.
