About Danielle
Danielle Montano is a BACP member and NCPS accredited counsellor with ten years' experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, self-esteem difficulties, addictions, parenting strains, grief and other life changes. Danielle also addresses ADHD, bipolar depression and compassion fatigue alongside family-related problems.
Danielle uses humanistic and experiential ideas to help people understand how they became who they are. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on clear, practical steps they can try between meetings. She draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape conversations.
People meet her for support with communication problems, blended family tensions, forgiveness work, body image and coping after separation. She also works with those managing abandonment, dissociation and effects of domestic violence, offering steady, direct discussion of options and coping strategies. Danielle pays attention to how relationship patterns show up in daily life and decision making.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and an MSc in Psychology. She is a mindfulness practitioner and has trained as a life coach. Those qualifications shape a practical, reflective style that keeps the person’s aims central.
Danielle accepts clients from the UK and internationally. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the site.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Danielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice what matters most and practise small, values-based steps even when thoughts or feelings are difficult. ACT is often chosen for anxiety, stress and struggles with motivation. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication. This approach can be useful for people who want to change recurring relationship or parenting patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Danielle will discuss the methods above and other techniques, and she will help decide which fit the person’s goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.

Many people find online sessions help fit meetings into busy family or work routines, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Speak with Danielle about practical arrangements so sessions can be scheduled around everyday commitments and responsibilities.
