About Dennis

Dennis McCarthy works with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. He says clients are the experts in their own stories and draws on their strengths to help them manage current problems. Dennis is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and he has 24 years of professional experience.

Dennis offers straightforward, practical conversations that focus on what is happening now. He listens to what matters to each person and helps identify small steps that can reduce pressure and improve coping. Sessions aim to make everyday tasks and relationships easier to handle, often by breaking problems into manageable pieces.

He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people rebuild confidence after difficult experiences. Work often covers how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact, and practical methods to change unhelpful patterns. He pays attention to how current stressors affect daily life and relationships.

Dennis supports people who have been affected by abuse or traumatic events, helping them to stabilise and regain a sense of control. He also helps people who are struggling with motivation and low confidence to find realistic ways to move forward. The focus is on practical strategies and clear goals.

He describes the first meeting as a chance to set goals and agree how to work together. To begin, select the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Evidence-based approaches are used to make sessions practical and focused. One common method looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns; this can help with anxiety and low mood. Another approach emphasises skills for managing stress and building confidence through step-by-step tasks and behavioural experiments, which suit people who want concrete ways to cope after difficult events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with each person and agree which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape the plan for future sessions and the practical steps to take between meetings.

Confirm which session formats are available before booking. Sessions are delivered in English and can be arranged for people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy day, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to keep to a regular schedule and follow through with agreed tasks between meetings.
