About Daniel
BACP. Bachelor-level training in counselling and psychotherapy. Eight years' experience. Daniel Lawrence works with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping concerns, parenting pressures, anger, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar mood-related concerns, and ADHD.
Daniel takes a person-centred approach and uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Existential Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on talking through what feels most pressing, noticing patterns in thoughts and behaviour, and trying simple practical strategies between meetings. He describes his work as collaborative and respectful.
He has worked in private practice, the NHS and community services, and in mental health research and higher education wellbeing roles. That varied background informs his work with people from different circumstances and life stages.
In a session he aims to help people name what is happening and test out small changes. This can include learning ways to manage intense feelings, working on communication around relationships, or practising mindfulness skills for stress and sleep. He also supports people facing major life transitions and long-standing difficulties such as attachment or caregiving stress.
Sessions are offered in English and are based in the United Kingdom. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, select the See online counselling options button, complete the short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How this counsellor uses therapeutic approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's experience and on building a respectful working relationship. Sessions concentrate on listening, reflecting what is said, and helping the person make sense of their feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses short practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and name emotions and use that understanding to improve how they relate to others and manage difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels useful, and then try methods together. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as needs change.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed on the profile. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by cutting travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, or letting people choose whether to use video or not depending on bandwidth and comfort. Registered or accredited professionals offering online work aim to adapt practical elements so therapy fits around daily commitments.
