About Daniel

Daniel Palmer is a counsellor who aims to make it easier for people to talk about what’s troubling them. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space and focuses on what each person needs. Daniel holds BACP accreditation, and brings five years of private practice experience to his work.

He keeps sessions centred on the person in front of him, helping people to name their problems and try practical steps forward. He uses straightforward talking therapy approaches rather than jargon, so conversations stay clear and focused on real life changes. Daniel commonly supports people with anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, eating concerns and codependency, among other difficulties.

His experience includes work with survivors of sexual abuse and supporting clients at a local trauma centre. That background informs how he responds to trauma and complex emotional issues. He also has interest in men’s mental health and in supporting people with autism and ADHD.

Daniel offers sessions from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. He works to make the first steps less daunting by listening closely and helping people set manageable goals. People can expect direct conversation about coping strategies, relationship patterns and small practical changes to daily life.

To start, he invites people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their timetable. Fees vary by location and therapist availability and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Daniel’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and letting the person lead the pace of conversation. It helps when someone needs an empathetic, non-judgemental ear to talk through difficult feelings and decisions.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims to identify small, practical steps that move things forward. It is useful for people who want to set short-term goals and try concrete coping strategies between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will check what matters to the individual, what outcomes they want and which methods feel comfortable. That collaborative discussion guides whether to emphasise listening, goal-setting or a mix of both.

Online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy week easier and reduce travel time. It also allows for shorter check-ins or phone conversations if that better fits someone’s schedule or bandwidth. Confirm the exact session options before booking so arrangements match personal needs and daily life.
