About Dennis
Dennis McCarthy works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, and low self-esteem. He draws on 24 years of professional experience to provide steady, practical support. He speaks English and works from the United Kingdom, and he accepts international clients.
Dennis approaches therapy as a collaborative process. He believes each person knows their story best and brings strengths to the work. Sessions focus on building those strengths and finding ways to move past what holds someone back.
Background and approach
He frames progress as a series of small, manageable steps rather than sudden change. In the room he listens carefully and helps people identify patterns that maintain stress or anxiety. He works with motivation and confidence as part of everyday concerns.
Practical ideas and gentle challenges are used to help people try new ways of coping and relating. Dennis aims to support people who are ready to make changes and to help them keep going when it feels difficult. His style is supportive and straightforward, with an emphasis on clear goals and simple actions.
He encourages people to use their existing strengths alongside new skills. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Sessions are provided under a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and cost varies with location and therapist availability.
This approach helps people fit therapy into busy lives and make steady progress.

How Dennis works online
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Dennis works with each person to agree goals and to try methods that suit their needs and preferences. Together they track progress and adjust the work if something is not helpful.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life and to keep momentum between appointments. It can also allow for shorter check-ins or for people to choose a less visually demanding option if that helps them engage. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current session options before booking to ensure they meet your needs and schedule.
