About Daniel

Daniel Lawrence is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience. He supports people facing anxiety, stress, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction and parenting concerns, among other issues.

He draws on a mixed‑methods background that combines hands‑on practice with mental health research. That experience informs how he notices patterns in thinking, feeling and relating. Sessions are person‑centred and focused on what matters most to the individual in front of him.

In conversation he uses straightforward techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally‑Focused Therapy alongside client‑centred listening. He also uses elements of existential thinking and mindfulness to help people examine meaning, choices and daily habits that affect wellbeing.

Sessions tend to be collaborative. Daniel helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and reflect on how those changes affect relationships and day‑to‑day life. He offers practical tools as well as time to talk through difficult emotions.

His previous roles include work in the NHS, community settings and mental health research, and he has also supported wellbeing in higher education. That mix gives him experience with a wide range of life situations and stresses.

People who are juggling parenting, caring responsibilities or workplace pressures often look for clear approaches and straightforward strategies. Daniel aims to help those people make manageable changes and find better ways of coping with strain at home and work.

How sessions work

How Daniel applies different approaches online

Client‑centred work focuses on listening and reflecting back what matters to you. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what they want to change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers practical steps to test and change those patterns. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to interactions and emotional responses in relationships, helping people notice how feelings shape responses to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel treats choosing methods as a shared process. He will talk through goals and preferences, and adapt techniques so they fit your situation and what you hope to get from sessions.

Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as current options are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example a shorter check‑in during a lunch break, a conversation without needing to travel, or sessions that suit quieter surroundings. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor pacing and tasks so techniques like CBT homework or mindfulness practice fit into everyday routines.
