David Hennessy, BACP

David Hennessy is a BACP-registered therapist based in the United Kingdom with 8 years of professional experience. He holds BACP credentials, indicating membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and focuses on supporting people coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and issues with self-esteem.

David approaches each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, adapting conversation and treatment to the needs of the individual. He combines practical, evidence-based techniques with a person-centered stance so clients can develop coping strategies, process difficult experiences, and work toward clearer goals in day-to-day life.

He emphasizes collaboration when planning care, taking time to understand a client’s priorities and tailoring sessions accordingly. Taking the first step toward a more satisfying life can feel daunting, and David aims to provide steady support through that process. He is available to work with clients in the UK and internationally and offers a range of remote session formats to suit different preferences and circumstances.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Remote Support

David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that are tailored to each client’s needs. One approach is structured, skills-focused work that helps people manage stress and anxiety by teaching practical coping strategies and tools to reduce overwhelm. This approach is useful for everyday pressures and panic or worry-related difficulties.

Another strand of his practice is trauma-informed therapeutic work, which prioritizes safety and pacing while helping people process difficult memories and the emotional impact of abuse or loss. This supports healing from trauma and grief while building resilience and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David collaborates with clients to identify what fits best based on their goals, needs, and preferences. He adjusts methods over time to suit progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support from different locations and at times that work with busy lives. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver effective, evidence-informed care through these formats, allowing clients to focus on progress without the constraints of travel or rigid scheduling.
