About Danny

Danny Ashen is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with four years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and self-esteem concerns in straightforward, practical sessions. Danny also offers support around LGBT issues, relationship concerns and coping with life changes.

He works to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions aim to be direct and down-to-earth so people can make smaller changes that feel achievable. Danny encourages clients to set simple goals and try out new ways of coping between meetings. His practice includes a wider range of issues such as attachment difficulties, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image struggles, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation.

He also supports people dealing with trauma-related issues like sexual assault and abuse, self-harm, and domestic violence. Danny is able to help with challenges linked to identity including gender dysphoria, prejudice and discrimination, and the stresses that can come from isolation or loneliness. He addresses feelings of guilt, shame and emptiness, and works with people on questions of forgiveness and life purpose.

Sessions are conducted in English and use clear, everyday language. People who choose to work with him can expect respectful listening, practical suggestions and collaborative planning to move forward.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Danny lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Approaches that suit online therapy and everyday life

Two evidence-based techniques often used in Danny's work are practical problem-solving and structured talking therapy. Practical problem-solving focuses on breaking down stressful situations into manageable steps and testing small changes to see what helps. Structured talking therapy gives space to notice patterns in thoughts and feelings and to try new ways of responding, which can ease anxiety and improve self-esteem.

A second useful approach is identity-affirming support that helps people explore gender and LGBT related concerns. This involves listening to a person's specific experiences, naming pressures or discrimination they face, and working together to develop coping strategies and self-acceptance. These approaches are aimed at everyday problems like isolation, relationship strain and adjusting after life changes.

Finding the right blend of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to agree goals and try methods that fit their needs and preferences. If something doesn't suit, they will adjust the plan so sessions feel more useful.

Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls make it easy to keep visual contact and have more in-depth work. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins or ongoing messaging between meetings. These options help people access therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
