Background and approach

Dani uses a mix of therapy styles to suit different needs. She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches to spot unhelpful thoughts and on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live by what matters to them. Attachment-based and client-centred ways of working guide how she builds trust and explores relationships.

People come to Dani for many reasons, including relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating concerns, and issues linked to ADHD. She also supports those dealing with career strain, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her background includes work with grief, bipolar and depression.

Sessions are collaborative and focused on practical outcomes. Dani helps people set realistic goals and tries different tools until something fits. She aims to make therapy feel straightforward and respectful, so change can happen at a pace that suits the individual.

Therapeutic approaches that suit online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches simple strategies to change patterns that cause distress. This approach often helps with panic, phobias, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, then recommend and try methods that fit each person's needs. Decisions are collaborative, and methods can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that feels important. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter exchanges or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep sessions regular and to fit therapy around work, family or travel.
