Declan Kent, BACP

Declan Kent is a UK-based therapist who blends formal training and hands-on clinical experience to create tailored treatment plans for each person he works with. He began his career in clinical settings and spent time volunteering as an honorary assistant psychologist in several hospitals, learning from diverse presentations and treatment styles. That early exposure, combined with an undergraduate degree in psychology and a masters in counselling and psychotherapy, shaped his thoughtful, practice-oriented approach. Declan describes challenging behaviours as problems to be understood rather than labels to define someone, and he aims to uncover the motivations and needs beneath presenting symptoms.

Working with an integrative method, he draws on a range of evidence-informed approaches and selects techniques that best fit an individual client’s circumstances. He emphasizes a collaborative relationship in which the client’s own knowledge of their life is central and the therapist acts as a supportive guide. Declan is passionate about his work and committed to continual learning, helping people address issues such as low self-esteem, anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, addiction, grief, parenting concerns, ADHD, and many other life challenges. He holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his professional affiliation within the UK.
