Dennis McCarthy, BACP

Counsellor Dennis McCarthy is a BACP member with 24 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. He also helps people with motivation and confidence. Dennis speaks English and accepts international clients.

Dennis keeps sessions straightforward. He sees people who want to talk through practical problems and find clearer ways forward. He treats the person in front of him as the expert on their situation and builds on the strengths they already have. Sessions focus on what matters most now rather than long academic explanations.

In appointments he listens, asks focused questions and checks progress from session to session. He will help set realistic steps for change and review how those steps are working. This approach is useful for everyday stresses, ongoing anxiety and relationship tensions where small changes can make life easier.

Dennis has worked in UK counselling for many years and brings that experience into ordinary, understandable conversations. He aims to make sessions practical and readable, helping people practise new ways of reacting and communicating. He also supports people recovering from past abuse or trauma by working at a pace they can manage.

To begin, he asks about the issues you want to address and what a useful next step would look like. He uses this information to agree aims and plan the first few sessions. If you prefer clear, direct discussion about problems and solutions, his way of working may suit you.
