About Danny

Danny Byrne is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years' experience. He works with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma and relationship difficulties, and with issues such as codependency and low self-esteem.

Danny uses straightforward language and practical steps in sessions. He blends cognitive behavioural techniques with client-centred listening and attachment-based ideas. The aim is to help people notice patterns, try different responses, and reduce unhelpful cycles.

Sessions focus on what is happening now and what can change next. Danny offers calming strategies for anxiety, ways to challenge negative thinking, and support for stepping back from people-pleasing or over-responsibility. He also helps people who are coping with grief, career stress, or life transitions.

He draws on motivational interviewing to support commitment to change and on mindfulness methods to develop present-moment coping skills. Conversations are practical and paced to the individual, with clear tools to practise between sessions.

Danny works with clients who want help with intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain, body image, and issues connected to neurodiversity and attachment. He accepts clients internationally and conducts sessions in English. To begin, a short questionnaire and a first appointment are used to agree a starting plan.

How sessions work

How his approaches translate to online work

Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships affect current patterns. Online sessions can help identify those patterns and practise different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers concrete exercises to change them; this works well in focused online sessions with homework between meetings. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve coping with anxiety and urges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danny will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then try methods and adapt them together. The process is collaborative and practical rather than fixed from the start.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as they are not listed here. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins or evening appointments where needed. These practical benefits help therapy fit around work, parenting and other commitments without promising a specific format.
