About Daniel
Daniel Palmer is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with five years of practice. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, eating difficulties, depression and relationship concerns. He also lists codependency as a focus and offers sessions in English to clients both in the UK and internationally.
Daniel keeps sessions focused on the person who comes to see him. He listens first and asks what is most pressing. He uses straightforward conversation and practical ideas so people can notice small changes. Sessions are presented as time to talk things through without judgement.
In practice he draws on Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client's own goals and perspective. He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify concrete steps a person can try between sessions. That mix is aimed at addressing things like low self-esteem, anger or problems with substances and food.
Daniel's experience includes running a private practice for five years and work supporting survivors of sexual abuse at Trust House in Grantham and clients at Lincoln trauma centre. He says he has worked with many people with trauma, addictions and neurodivergent presentations such as ADHD.
Sessions are described as available online, by phone and face to face; the site’s booking flow asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. If someone needs to begin, they are invited to follow the online therapy options and the booking prompts.
How sessions work
How Daniel combines client-centred and solution-focused work online
Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person's own experience and priorities. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person decide what matters most. This approach is useful for people who want to be heard and to build clarity about their values and choices.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on finding small, practical steps that can change day-to-day life. It looks for exceptions to a problem and builds on what already works. This approach suits people who want short-term strategies for issues like anxiety, stress, addiction or relationship patterns such as codependency.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work itself. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then agree a plan together. That conversation is collaborative and can change as the work progresses.
The biography lists online, phone and face-to-face sessions, but the site booking asks you to confirm available formats before scheduling. Online work can make it easier to have sessions around everyday commitments, fit in a shorter check-in, or avoid travel. It also allows continuing sessions when someone is living abroad, as Daniel accepts international clients.
