About Daniel

Daniel Lawrence is a counsellor who works with people facing anger, stress and anxiety. He also helps with depression, grief, relationship difficulties and addictions. Daniel uses a calm, down-to-earth style to make it easier to talk about painful or difficult issues.

He brings eight years of practical experience to sessions and has worked in the NHS and community settings. That background is combined with roles in mental health research and higher education wellbeing. This mix gives him a broad view of the things that affect how people think and feel.

Daniel’s way of working is collaborative and person-centred. He aims to build a steady, respectful working relationship and tailors each session to what the person needs right now. In practice that means listening first, then trying small, practical steps that suit the individual.

He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy and Mindfulness alongside client-centred ideas. These methods are used to help with patterns of thinking, emotional regulation and improving connection with oneself and others. Daniel avoids one-size-fits-all approaches and adjusts techniques to fit the person in front of him.

People come to him when they feel stuck, overwhelmed or simply want clearer direction. He describes therapy as a place to make sense of things and to work out realistic next steps. Prospective clients are encouraged to follow the site process to start and to ask about practical session details before booking.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. It gives space for a person to describe what matters and helps build trust so practical work can follow. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and work with strong emotions and the ways they affect relationships and closeness.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client choose which methods to try first. That choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so the plan stays helpful and realistic.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that helps someone stay comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals can use these ways of working to bring practical tools, emotional support and coping strategies into everyday routines.
