About Dean
Dean Rogers is an AASW social worker with six years' experience in clinical and community settings. He works with people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, grief, and feelings like guilt and shame. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on what is happening now.
Dean draws on several practical approaches to help people talk through difficult feelings. He uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice thoughts and try small changes in behaviour. Attachment-based ideas inform how he looks at close relationships and patterns that repeat over time.
He has worked with ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, and end-of-life concerns, alongside mood and trauma-related difficulties. Dean also supports people dealing with parenting strains, fatherhood issues, and family of origin problems. His background includes work with addiction and with people facing major life changes.
In sessions he aims to be direct and respectful, helping people name the feelings they carry and take practical next steps. Conversations look at values, manageable behavioural experiments, and clearer communication with others. The focus is on small, workable changes rather than big theoretical shifts.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Dean draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with personal values. ACT focuses on taking small, value-led actions even when uncomfortable feelings are present, which can help with guilt, shame and anxiety.He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify thinking patterns and try practical behaviour changes. CBT offers concrete steps such as testing beliefs and building routines that support better sleep, mood, and coping with stress.
Attachment-based ideas are used to look at repeating patterns in close relationships. This approach helps people understand how early connections shape expectations and communication in adult relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dean will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before to choose methods that fit. That decision is collaborative and may include a mix of ACT, CBT and attachment-focused techniques.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during work breaks, or avoid being on camera if preferred. These practical benefits help therapy slot into everyday life and support steady progress with manageable steps.
