About Me
Hello! I’m Ivan Denton, and I have spent over two decades supporting individuals navigating neurodiversity and a broad spectrum of enduring and circumstantial mental health challenges. I am committed to offering holistic, trauma-informed care that honours each person’s unique journey, with sensitivity to spiritual and cultural dimensions.

My Experience
Trained in the UK and holding a Master’s in Counselling and Psychotherapy, I have worked across palliative care, long-term disability, loss and bereavement, and life transitions, including gender changes. I have extensive experience supporting individuals with depression, anxiety, substance dependence, adolescents, couples, and groups. My training spans Gestalt, CBT, somatic and relational approaches, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and the harm reduction model.

My Approach
Gestalt, a German term meaning “the pieces that make up the whole,” informs my therapeutic philosophy. I engage authentically and creatively, seeing each person as the sole expert in their own experience. My work is growth-directed, designed to deepen awareness and cultivate clearer, more adaptive responses to life’s richness and challenges. I integrate diverse tools, tailoring support to each individual’s needs while honouring their lived experience and values.

Who I See
I work with individuals, couples, and groups facing mental health challenges, life transitions, grief, and substance use concerns. My practice is inclusive, trauma-informed, and culturally sensitive, helping clients explore what colours their world and how they wish to engage with it more fully. With a broad experience, I have worked in many therapeutic settings and my own practice would suit most areas of therapeutic focus.

My clients
I am dedicated to creating a space where clients can explore their experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Using a blend of evidence-informed and relational approaches, I support clients in building insight, resilience, and meaningful growth. If you are seeking a holistic, personalized approach to therapy that honors your whole self, I may be of use to you.
