About Daniel

Daniel Lawrence is a BACP counsellor and psychotherapist in the United Kingdom with eight years of professional experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, sleep and eating difficulties, and a wide range of emotional and relationship concerns. He also helps with career issues, self-esteem, ADHD, and the strain that comes from caregiving and chronic illness.

His background combines therapeutic work and mental health research, which informs how he approaches problems. Sessions start with listening to what matters most to the person and identifying patterns that keep problems going. Daniel uses straightforward questions and reflective listening to help people name feelings and reactions.

He works in an integrative, client-centred way and draws on techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside existential ideas and mindfulness practices. That mix is used to help with unhelpful thoughts, difficult emotions, and recurring relationship patterns. Practical skills and emotional exploration are balanced according to what a person needs.

Daniel has worked across NHS and community settings and has experience in mental health research and higher education wellbeing roles. That variety gives him a clear view of how different pressures affect daily life and relationships.

To begin, he asks people to say what they want to change and what matters to them now. From there he agrees practical steps and ways of checking progress as therapy continues.

How Daniel uses EFT, CBT and client-centred work online

Daniel draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with strong emotions and recurring interaction patterns. EFT can be useful when feelings are hard to identify and when people want to understand how emotions shape their relationships and reactions.

He also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on listening and reflecting what a person is experiencing. That approach helps people feel understood and to explore their own priorities at a gentle pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to build practical skills for managing anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.

Finding the best approach is collaborative. Daniel will discuss different ways of working and agree what to try first, then review progress together. That means sessions can move between emotional exploration, practical skills or reflective conversation depending on what feels most useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into busy lives, for example by cutting travel time or allowing easier scheduling around work and caregiving. Some formats make it easier to keep sessions short or to meet without being on camera, which can be helpful for those who prefer a lower level of visual contact.
