About Dennis

Dennis McCarthy helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. He has 24 years of experience working with these concerns and speaks English. Dennis works from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients for online sessions.

Dennis sees people as the experts in their own lives. He listens for strengths and practical steps that can make daily life easier. Sessions focus on small, manageable changes rather than big theoretical ideas.

Background and approach

He aims to create a calm space where someone can talk things through and try out new ways of coping. Over two decades of practice have given Dennis experience with a wide range of life challenges. He uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques chosen to fit each person’s needs.

He helps people build confidence, manage symptoms of anxiety and stress, and repair how they relate to others after difficult experiences. Dennis describes the work as collaborative. He supports clients to set clear goals and reviews progress together.

If something doesn’t feel helpful, he will adjust the pace or approach so sessions remain useful and relevant. People who meet him can expect straightforward language, steady encouragement and a focus on what works in everyday life. Dennis holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, which is part of his professional background.

Focus areas and approaches

What Dennis works with

Everything Dennis lists, in their own terms.

Online support

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques here focus on practical, goal-led work. One common approach helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and stress. This involves noticing patterns, trying small experiments in daily life, and reviewing what helps.

A second approach centres on building emotional safety and self-worth after trauma or abuse. It guides people to name difficult experiences, learn skills to manage strong feelings, and practise steps that rebuild confidence and healthier relationships.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will discuss options, listen to what matters most to the client, and adapt methods to fit goals and preferences. Progress is reviewed together and adjustments are made if something is not working.

Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller conversation that feels close to face-to-face. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins and people who prefer writing. These options give flexibility so people can choose what works best for their routine and environment.
