About Danielle

Danielle Montano is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and accredited by the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has ten years of experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, eating and body-image issues, addiction, low self-esteem and mood difficulties including depression and bipolar conditions.

Danielle works from a humanistic perspective and uses approaches such as Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), attachment-based work, client-centred methods and cognitive behavioural techniques. She helps people untangle patterns that shape choices and behaviours. Sessions focus on understanding how past and present relationships affect mood, coping and self-worth.

Her practical style emphasises clear, everyday language and steady reflection. Conversations often look at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together, and what small changes might ease day-to-day stress. She also supports people dealing with grief, compassion fatigue, ADHD-related concerns, and difficulties that follow separation or loss.

Danielle offers support related to parenting strains, blended family problems, communication difficulties, codependency, and forgiveness work. She is experienced in helping people from LGBT backgrounds and those affected by trauma, domestic violence or disaster-related stress.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are accepted. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and book a first session through the online therapy options button.

How Danielle uses EFT, ACT and attachment work online

Danielle combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with other approaches to help people notice and name difficult emotions and the patterns that follow. EFT focuses on how emotional responses shape relationships and personal choices, often by gently mapping recurring interaction cycles.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages people to clarify what matters to them and to take small actions aligned with those values while learning to live with uncomfortable thoughts and feelings. Attachment-based work looks at how early and important relationships influence current reactions, trust and closeness, and can help when abandonment or attachment issues are present.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will discuss goals, preferences and the problems that matter most, and together they will decide which methods to try and when to adjust them.

Session arrangements should be confirmed before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. If international access matters, she does accept clients outside the UK, so mention your location when you complete the matching questionnaire.
