About David
David Hennessy is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. He focuses on everyday problems that can feel overwhelming, like stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, and low self-esteem. He meets people with respect and sensitivity and aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable.
He adapts sessions to each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. That means conversations and strategies are built around what the client needs and what they find helpful.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and paced to suit the individual. David draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms, rebuild routines, and cope with difficult memories or losses. He works step by step, helping clients try new ways of thinking and acting, and then reviewing what works.
People can expect a calm, patient manner and an emphasis on real-life changes. He supports clients through practical problem solving as well as emotional processing. David aims to make each session a space for steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. He provides a mix of online formats so people can choose what fits their life and commitments.
How evidence-based approaches work online
David uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build coping skills. Cognitive approaches help people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try alternative ways of thinking that reduce anxiety and stress. Behavioural strategies focus on changing patterns of action, such as breaking cycles of avoidance or building healthier routines after loss or addiction.Finding the right approach is part of the work. David will discuss options with each client, weigh what feels most relevant, and adapt techniques to suit individual goals and daily life. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging can fit into busy schedules. These options make therapy more flexible and help people fit sessions around work, caring duties, or travel.
