In practice that means sessions can include talking through recent difficulties, trying small experiments between meetings, and reflecting on past patterns that affect present life. He offers support for a wide range of concerns including codependency and attachment issues, and will tailor the approach to each person’s goals.

How Daniel uses therapeutic approaches online
Daniel draws on client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person, offering space for them to shape the conversation and set priorities. This approach helps when someone needs to be heard and to build a trusting working relationship.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on noticing thoughts and behaviours and testing small changes. CBT can be useful for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and day-to-day stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will talk with the person about goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try. That collaborative process helps shape whether sessions emphasize coping tools, exploring past patterns, or short-term problem solving.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent travelling. When practical arrangements are clarified in advance, therapy can be scheduled around work, caregiving or other commitments.
