About Daniel
Daniel Palmer is a counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and has five years' experience in private practice. He works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, addictions and young adult issues. He also helps people facing trauma, relationship problems and struggles with identity or self-esteem.
Daniel uses an integrative approach, drawing on different methods to match what a person needs in session. Sessions focus on the client’s concerns and practical steps they can try between meetings. He has worked with survivors of sexual abuse and with people accessing local trauma services, which has shaped how he supports those recovering from past harm.
Work often centres on building clearer routines, managing mood and coping with life changes like leaving home, study pressures or early careers. He offers space to talk through difficult feelings and to look at small, achievable changes. Daniel also has experience helping people with ADHD and autism-related challenges affecting everyday life.
He has run a private practice for five years and reports working with hundreds of clients during that time. That experience informs straightforward, problem-focused conversations alongside more person-led counselling. Sessions can be online, by phone or face to face depending on what suits the client.
People who are unsure what to expect can be asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before their first meeting. Daniel aims to work collaboratively to set goals and practical steps in early sessions.
How his approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens and reflects what matters most to the client, helping them find their own solutions. This approach can help with emotional issues like anxiety, grief or low self-esteem where being heard matters.Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on small, practical steps and clear goals. Sessions look for what is already working and build on it, which can suit people who want short-term, action-oriented work for problems like stress, study pressures or coping with life transitions.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and adapt approaches based on their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative decision helps shape whether sessions stay more exploratory or move quickly toward practical tasks.
The original biography lists online, phone and face-to-face sessions but does not give more detail on formats. Confirm the available session types before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study and work, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when life is busy. Some clients prefer shorter phone check-ins when they need a brief update, while others choose longer video meetings for more in-depth conversation.
