About Daniel

Daniel Lawrence is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship difficulties. He has eight years of professional experience and works with concerns such as trauma and abuse, addictions, codependency and low self-esteem. He aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can be heard and begin to make small changes that matter.

His way of working is person-centred and collaborative. Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on practical steps they can try between meetings. He draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and other evidence-based techniques to help people understand patterns of thinking and behaviour.

Daniel also uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at how feelings and attachment show up in relationships. Mindfulness work is offered to help with stress, sleeping and coping with difficult emotions. He adapts methods to suit the pace and preferences of each person he sees.

His experience spans private practice, NHS roles, community settings and mental health research. That mix informs a grounded approach to common life challenges and complex difficulties alike. He aims to be warm and straightforward in sessions, helping people feel more able to manage everyday pressures.

To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and then schedules sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Daniel uses approaches online and what to expect

Daniel blends client-centred work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioural changes. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises listening and building trust so the person feels heard and in charge of their goals. CBT breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to change patterns that maintain distress.

He also brings elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and attachment affect relationships and intimacy. EFT-style work helps people identify key feelings and how those shape interactions, which can be useful for relationship stress or intimacy-related concerns. Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work; he will discuss options and agree a plan based on each person's needs and preferences.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity during life changes and to work around work and family commitments.
