About

About Daniel

Daniel Lawrence is a counsellor with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges and relationship strain. He also offers help for issues like addiction, trauma, low self-esteem and trouble sleeping.

He works in a person-centred way, putting the client's experience at the core of each session. Daniel combines that approach with practical techniques drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy and emotionally-focused work.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and tailored to what matters most to the individual. His background includes work in the NHS, community services and mental health research, as well as roles supporting wellbeing in higher education. That mix informs a straightforward style that balances empathy with clear, practical steps people can use between sessions.

In a typical meeting he listens first, then helps clients notice patterns in thinking and feeling. He offers exercises, simple experiments and reflective conversation to test new ways of coping. The aim is to build skills that reduce distress and increase confidence in daily life.

Daniel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He works in English and provides sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect people to a suitable therapy plan.

Online support

How Daniel combines approaches for online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves being heard and respected while the counsellor follows the client's lead, which helps with issues like low self-esteem, grief and parenting stress.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and reduce anxiety, depression and sleep problems.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name emotions and use that awareness to improve how they relate to others and handle intimacy-related issues. It is useful when strong emotions get in the way of connection and decision making.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses options with the client and together they decide what fits goals and preferences. This collaborative process means methods can change as progress is made.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical options for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or when writing helps clarify thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life.
