About Darren

Darren Goodman is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, life changes and career pressures. He works with practical goals so people can feel more able to cope day to day. Darren uses straightforward conversation and clear steps rather than jargon.

He draws on client-centred work to make the room feel steady and focused on the person's experience. That means the conversation starts with what matters to the client and moves at their pace.

Background and approach

He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to spot small changes that make a real difference over time. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is part of his practice for people who want tools to manage anxiety, panic and low mood. That approach looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers simple strategies to try between sessions.

Motivational Interviewing is used when someone needs support to find motivation and set manageable goals. Darren has three years of experience and is connected with BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He offers sessions in English and works from the United Kingdom.

He does not take international clients at this time. Sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Costs vary depending on location and session format and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How Darren adapts approaches for online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following what the person needs in the moment. In online sessions this means the counsellor pays attention to what the client brings and uses reflective questions to clarify feelings and priorities. Solution-Focused Therapy looks for what is already working and builds small, achievable steps. Online work suits this well because goals and short exercises can be agreed and tracked between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Darren will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods fit best, based on goals, preferences and practical needs. This collaborative planning helps keep sessions useful and tailored to where the client wants to go.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people meet. Video calls let the conversation be close to an in-person session, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work when being on camera is difficult, and live chat or text-based messaging allow brief check-ins or paced conversations over time. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still using evidence-informed approaches delivered by registered or accredited professionals.
