About Daniel

Daniel Lawrence is a counsellor with eight years of professional experience based in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction and relationship difficulties. Daniel also supports people dealing with sleep and eating problems, parenting strain, ADHD and major life changes.

He uses a person-centred way of working that keeps the conversation focused on what matters to the individual. Sessions are collaborative - the client’s goals shape what happens in the room. Daniel draws on practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred listening and mindfulness practices to help change unhelpful thinking and everyday habits.

His background includes work in the NHS, community settings and roles in mental health research and higher education wellbeing. That mix of clinical and research experience informs a clear and grounded approach to therapy. He aims to make sessions calm and easy to follow, with simple strategies people can use between meetings.

Daniel places emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of change. He offers a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can talk things through at their own pace. His style is warm, measured and practical, with attention to both thoughts and everyday habits.

If you are considering how to cope with life stress, relationship strain, or changes linked to health or caregiving, Daniel can help map out realistic next steps and manageable techniques to try.

How his approaches work for online therapy

Daniel combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy in ways that adapt well to remote work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship so people can speak openly about what matters most to them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical steps to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and everyday habits, which can be practised between sessions. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple attention exercises to reduce reactivity and improve focus, useful for stress and sleep issues.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process and will be explored together. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences and day-to-day life. That collaborative decision is revisited as progress is made so techniques remain helpful and relevant.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try mindfulness exercises and CBT tasks between sessions to build new habits in everyday life.
