About Daniel
Daniel Whitelaw is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with five years of professional experience. He works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and depression.
He listens in a direct and respectful way and focuses on practical conversations. Sessions aim to clarify what is causing strain and to identify small, doable steps forward. Daniel adapts how he talks and plans work to suit each person rather than using one fixed method.
People often come with struggles around attachment, abandonment, guilt or shame. He also supports those coping with chronic pain, illness or disability, and those navigating divorce or separation. Men’s issues and questions about life purpose are areas he has regular experience with.
Daniel has worked with post-traumatic stress and social anxiety and phobia as part of his clinical practice. He combines listening with structured discussion so that worries are easier to name and to manage day to day. Sessions balance immediate coping strategies with longer term thinking about relationships and patterns.
Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should confirm current session options and booking steps before arranging a first appointment. To start, follow the site process to complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Daniel uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear problem solving and increasing practical coping skills. One commonly used approach emphasises identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them against real situations to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This helps with worry, low mood and social fears by breaking problems down into small, manageable steps.Another approach he uses concentrates on understanding attachment and relationship patterns. This involves talking through how past experiences affect current relationships and trying different ways of interacting to see what feels more effective. It can be useful for relationship strain, abandonment concerns and for building steadier self esteem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss options in early sessions and choose methods based on what the person wants to achieve and what fits their everyday life. The emphasis is on collaboration and checking in about what helps.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments and may reduce travel time. They also allow a mix of shorter check-ins or longer sessions to match what someone needs on a given week.
