About Daniel
Daniel Lawrence is a counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom. He has eight years of experience helping people who are struggling with anxiety, stress, low mood, grief and traumatic events. Daniel aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk about what matters to them and find practical ways forward.
He takes a person-centred approach, listening first to understand each person's priorities and concerns. Sessions are shaped around the individual rather than a fixed template.
Background and approach
Daniel draws on a mix of methods to suit different needs, including cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally focused ways of working alongside mindfulness practices. His background includes both clinical roles and mental health research. That mix gives him a practical understanding of how life events, relationships and health interact with mood and behaviour.
He has worked in the NHS and in community settings as well as running a independent practice. In sessions Daniel focuses on clear, doable steps as well as helping people make sense of painful feelings. He offers coaching-style support for career or life-change questions, and therapeutic support for issues like addiction, sleep problems, eating concerns and anger.
Daniel also helps people who are coping with complex situations such as chronic illness, bereavement or separation. People meet him for short-term work and for longer exploration. He encourages a collaborative pace so people can move at what feels right for them and build confidence in handling future challenges.

Approaches that suit online therapy
Daniel uses person-centred work to build rapport and understand what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on listening and reflecting back, helping people feel heard and decide what to work on next. It is useful for most emotional concerns and for setting goals together.He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to try different ways of responding. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and unhelpful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is another strand of his work and helps people notice and name emotions, develop clearer communication and change patterns that cause repeated distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Daniel treats it as a collaboration. He will discuss what feels most helpful, try methods for a time, and adjust the plan based on how things are going. The aim is to match methods to a person's goals and preferences rather than following a rigid programme.
Online sessions can be booked as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging. Video suits deeper conversations where visual contact helps, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a shorter real-time check-in, and messaging can fit around busy days. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress with the therapist.
