About Daniel

Daniel Lawrence is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and trauma, and also addresses codependency and other intimacy-related concerns.

He combines practical therapeutic conversation with knowledge from mental health research. Sessions focus on what is happening for the person now - thoughts, feelings and day-to-day patterns that keep them stuck. He uses familiar, evidence-based tools alongside a person-centred style that lets clients set the pace.

Daniel often draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. He also uses Emotionally-Focused ideas to look at how people connect and respond in relationships. Mindfulness and existential perspectives help people notice what matters and respond with more clarity.

Work in sessions can include short exercises, guided reflection and discussion about practical steps to manage symptoms like sleep problems, anxiety or low mood. He can also talk through relationship patterns such as people-pleasing, boundary difficulties, or living around another person’s addictions or moods.

His background includes practice in the NHS and community settings, plus roles in mental health research and higher education wellbeing. That experience informs straightforward, practical therapy aimed at everyday concerns and decision points.

To begin, people are invited to pick a time, complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session to see how the working style fits.

How sessions work

How Daniel uses common approaches online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and experience, offering a space to talk through what matters and decide next steps. It is useful for people wanting to make sense of their feelings and choices.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, moods and behaviours. It uses practical exercises to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns such as rumination or avoidance.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) examines how people relate and respond to emotions in close relationships. It can help people notice interaction cycles and practice different responses when emotions run high.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and decide together which methods suit the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process that can change as therapy progresses.

Practical benefits of working online should be checked before booking because the biography does not specify session formats. Ask which formats are offered and choose what fits daily life. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises for video or phone conversations and plan homework that fits everyday routines.
