David Hennessy , BACP

David Hennessy is a UK-licensed therapist who brings 8 years of experience to his work supporting people through stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and challenges with self-esteem. He holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. David combines respect, sensitivity, and compassion to create a space where clients can explore difficult feelings and practical concerns.

He adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s individual needs, focusing on approaches that fit the client’s goals and life context. Whether someone is managing anxiety, coping with loss, addressing addictive behaviours, or working through past trauma, David aims to offer clear, practical guidance alongside empathic listening.

David recognises that seeking change takes courage and that the first step can feel daunting. He offers steady support throughout the therapeutic process and is experienced in working with clients from the United Kingdom and internationally, tailoring his work to meet diverse needs and circumstances.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care

David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and emotional processing to address the issues clients bring. One common strand of his work emphasises skills-based strategies for managing stress and anxiety - helping clients recognise unhelpful patterns, build coping tools, and practise techniques that reduce day-to-day distress.

He also applies trauma-aware and grief-focused approaches that prioritise safety and pacing while helping people process painful experiences and loss. These approaches concentrate on making sense of difficult memories and emotions, and on restoring a sense of control and self-worth after trauma or bereavement.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and David works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. He reviews progress and adjusts methods as the work evolves.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and where sessions take place, and David provides support via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This variety makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity of care across different locations, while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who can guide the therapeutic process.
