About Daiga

Daiga Denton is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation and works from a person-focused perspective. Daiga brings a calm, straightforward manner that helps people feel heard and understood from the first session.

She started exploring personal development early and later studied Humanistic Counselling at the University of Nottingham, graduating with a First-Class degree in 2011. Over the years she has supported people with anxiety and depression and the range of feelings that sit alongside them.

Background and approach

Phobias are part of the concerns she can help people address. Daiga treats each person as a whole. She assumes people already carry the answers they need and helps them uncover what is blocking access to their own wisdom.

Conversations focus on past experiences that shape present patterns, and on practical ways to move forward. Her work aims to increase self-awareness, self-acceptance and confidence. That often involves looking at relationships, life transitions, grief, addiction and body image, as well as stress, sleep and parenting challenges.

She draws on mindfulness and somatic ideas alongside emotionally focused and existential ways of thinking. Sessions are intended to be collaborative and paced to what each person can manage. People who want a reflective, compassionate counsellor who asks direct questions and listens closely may find this approach a good fit.

Approaches in online counselling and how they help

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The counsellor offers a steady, non-judgemental presence and helps people explore their own thoughts and feelings to find clearer direction. This approach helps with low mood, self-esteem and ongoing stress.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding emotional responses and how they influence relationships and behaviour. It helps people recognise patterns in close relationships and work towards more supported ways of connecting and relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor discusses goals and preferences together and chooses methods that suit the person's needs and pace. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging work well for shorter check-ins or when typing feels more comfortable. These options add flexibility to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and make it easier to continue work between sessions.
