About Danielle

Danielle Montano is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings a humanistic outlook to conversations about change. Danielle approaches sessions with respect for each person's autonomy and aims to help clients make clearer choices for themselves.

She focuses on everyday problems like stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and relationship or intimacy difficulties. Danielle also supports people facing grief, career shifts, parenting strains, addiction concerns, eating and body-image issues, and neurodiversity-related questions such as autism and ADHD. She lists work with LGBT matters, family and blended family tensions, and compassion fatigue among her areas of practice.

Danielle blends practical methods and reflective listening. She uses tools from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused ideas. Sessions aim to build awareness of patterns, identify workable steps, and practise new responses in small, manageable ways.

Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts with honours in Humanistic Counselling and a Master of Science in Psychology. She is also a mindfulness practitioner and a certified life coach. Those qualifications inform a steady, person-centred style that keeps goals clear.

People often come to Danielle to talk through control issues, codependency, divorce and separation, or difficulties after trauma and dissociation. She works collaboratively to set priorities, explore options, and find concrete ways to cope and move forward.

How Danielle’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and choose values-based actions. It can be useful for anxiety, anger and life changes where taking small steps matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing different behaviours to reduce distress and improve coping for issues like depression, panic or stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and supports people who want clearer boundaries and safer ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. She aims to be collaborative, adjusting tools and exercises so they feel useful rather than prescriptive.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce commuting time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also let people use practices such as mindfulness exercises or behavioural experiments between meetings, making therapy easier to carry into everyday life.
