David Hennessy , BACP

David Hennessy is a UK-based therapist who brings eight years of professional experience to work with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and struggles with self-esteem. He is licensed in the United Kingdom and is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body that sets standards for therapeutic practice and professional conduct.

He approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, creating a space where difficult experiences can be explored without judgement. David adapts conversations and treatment plans to match each individual's circumstances and priorities, focusing on practical steps and emotional understanding tailored to the person's needs.

Recognizing that reaching out for support can take courage, he positions himself as a steady collaborator in the process of change. Whether someone is managing day-to-day anxiety, working through past trauma, addressing addictive patterns, or coping with loss, he aims to support clients toward clearer thinking, improved coping, and a more fulfilling life.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Support

David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and emotional insight. One approach focuses on skills-based cognitive and behavioral strategies - helping clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop new coping skills to reduce anxiety, manage stress, and improve self-esteem. This type of work is suited to people wanting structured tools and clear steps to change everyday responses.

Another strand of his work is trauma-informed support, which centers on safety, pacing, and building coping resources when dealing with trauma, abuse, or grief. This approach helps clients process difficult experiences at a pace that feels manageable while strengthening resilience and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is worked out collaboratively. David will explore a client's needs, goals, and preferences and adapt techniques accordingly, so therapy feels aligned with what the person hopes to achieve.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, connect from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are not possible.
