About Danielle

Danielle Hancock is an NCPS-credentialed counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. She works with people facing addictions, relationship difficulties, family conflict, trauma and abuse, mood conditions such as depression and bipolar, and struggles with self-esteem, anxiety and grief.

Danielle uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as one of her core approaches. She also draws on client-centred, existential, Jungian and mindfulness-informed ways of working. In sessions she focuses on emotions, attachment patterns and the interactions that keep people stuck.

Her practice includes attention to intimacy-related issues, codependency and commitment worries. Danielle also helps with practical challenges like communication problems, blended family tensions, divorce and separation, and coping with life changes including cancer and its effects on relationships.

She has experience working with dissociation, avoidant personality patterns, abandonment concerns and complex presentations where co-morbidity is involved. Danielle aims to help people name feelings, understand relationship patterns and try different interaction styles to reduce recurring conflict.

Sessions are offered in English and Danielle accepts international clients. She asks prospective clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking so the first session can focus on priorities and goals.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Danielle uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at how emotions and attachment patterns affect relationships. EFT focuses on naming feelings and changing interaction cycles, which can help with relationship patterns and intimacy concerns. She also works from a client-centred perspective that prioritises the person in the room and their immediate experience, which supports clearer goals and practical steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Danielle will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences, discussing how EFT, client-centred work or mindfulness techniques might be used in sessions. The aim is to agree a practical plan that reflects the client’s goals and the concerns they bring.

Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel. They also allow for shorter check-ins, or sessions without video when that better suits the person, so therapy can slot into everyday life more readily. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, reflective work and emotional processing to an online setting so progress continues while fitting into a busy schedule.
