About Dennis
BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 24 years of professional experience, Dennis McCarthy helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. He works with individuals who want practical support to feel more able and confident in day-to-day life.
Dennis treats people as the expert in their own story and builds on existing strengths. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. He offers straightforward conversation and techniques aimed at reducing worry, improving relationships, and rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences.
People often come with a specific problem to solve or with a sense that life feels stuck. Dennis listens, helps clarify the most pressing issues, and suggests manageable actions to try between meetings. He keeps language plain and focuses on what can be changed in the here and now.
Over two decades of work have involved a range of presenting issues such as trauma, abuse and ongoing stress. That background informs how he recognises common patterns and supports people to develop coping skills. He draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide the practical work in sessions.
Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented. Dennis aims to make the process clear so people know what to expect and can decide the pace. He encourages people to test small changes, review progress, and adjust plans as needed.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used to address specific problems. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to reduce anxiety and worry. This helps people notice what keeps fears going and try small changes to see if things shift.Another approach emphasises skills to manage strong emotions and rebuild confidence after trauma or abuse. Sessions may include grounding and pacing strategies, and exercises to improve everyday coping and self-regard. These methods aim to stabilise reactions and increase a person's sense of control.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person, draw on their history and goals, and agree a plan together. That collaborative choice helps match methods to what feels most useful and realistic.
Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around busy schedules, reduce travel time, or use shorter check-ins when that suits the day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt methods so practical steps, review and planning fit into everyday life.
