About Daniel
Daniel Palmer is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has five years of practice in the United Kingdom. He focuses on common problems that affect life at home and relationships, such as stress, anxiety, addictions, depression, grief, and family issues. Daniel also helps people with concerns around body image, intimacy, self-esteem and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and Daniel accepts international clients.
Daniel’s work is practical and straightforward. He uses client-centred methods to listen and reflect what matters to each person. He also draws on solution-focused ideas to help set clear, manageable goals and try small changes between meetings. Together these approaches are used to talk through emotions, coping strategies and practical next steps.
He has run a private practice for five years and has worked with people affected by sexual assault and trauma at local support services. That background informs how he works with trauma, addiction and people recovering from abuse. He aims to be steady and direct when discussing distressing experiences.
In a typical session Daniel will give space to what feels most pressing, and then help identify one or two things to try before the next meeting. He pays attention to patterns that keep problems going and helps people test different ways of responding. The focus is on sensible steps that fit around everyday life.
People looking for help with relationship strain, parenting pressures or difficulties with a family member will find areas Daniel commonly addresses. To confirm session options and practical arrangements, readers should check the online booking information before scheduling.
How sessions work
How his approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own priorities. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what matters and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk about how stress, grief or family strain feels before deciding what to change.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on practical steps and short-term goals. Sessions look for small, doable changes and build on what already works. It is useful for people who want clear actions to try between meetings, for example coping techniques or communication experiments at home.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss options in early sessions and agree together what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative discussion can include mixing listening-led work with targeted tasks when helpful.
The profile indicates online and phone work have been used, but readers should confirm current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, avoid travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when quieter surroundings or lower bandwidth make video difficult.
