About David
David Hennessy is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem work. David conducts conversations and therapy in English and accepts international clients.
David aims to make sessions straightforward and practical. He listens to what a person is struggling with and discusses small, doable steps to try between meetings. He adapts the tone and pace of sessions to each person's needs rather than following a single fixed method.
In practice he helps people understand the patterns that keep problems going. He will talk through how stress and anxiety show up day to day, how addictive behaviours fit into someone’s life, and how past hurt can affect present feelings. He also offers support for grief and rebuilding self-worth after difficult events.
Sessions are planned around the individual’s goals. That can mean brief problem-focused work or a longer process to look at deeper issues. David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and explains their purpose in simple terms so people know what to expect.
People thinking about starting are invited to describe their main concerns and what they hope to change. This helps set clear, practical goals for early sessions. The emphasis is on making therapy usable in everyday life and on steady, manageable progress.

How David uses evidence-based approaches online
David draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems. One approach focuses on recognising unhelpful thinking and testing it against real-life evidence, which can reduce ongoing worry and help when anxiety is a main concern. Another approach looks at patterns in behaviour and routines, identifying small changes that reduce reliance on addictive behaviours and support recovery.Finding the right approach is part of the work. He discusses options with each person and chooses methods based on their goals, preferences, and what feels manageable. That collaborative selection helps make the sessions relevant and practical from the first meetings.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. Online sessions can be useful for fitting meetings into a busy week, allowing shorter check-ins or weekday appointments, and removing travel time. These practical benefits can make it easier to keep therapy consistent while working on stress, anxiety, grief, or addictive behaviours.
