About Danielle

Danielle Montano is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds accreditation from NCPS. She has ten years' experience and works with people on stress, anxiety and a wide range of life challenges including relationship and intimacy issues, eating and self-esteem concerns, addiction and grief.

Danielle uses a humanistic outlook that centres the person's own perspective. She helps people look at how their history, beliefs and patterns shape choices. Sessions aim to bring clearer understanding so people can decide what changes to make next.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and an MSc in Psychology. She also practices mindfulness and has qualifications in life coaching, which she draws on where helpful. These tools are used alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

In sessions Danielle talks through practical steps and small experiments that people can try between meetings. Conversations often focus on attachment, communication and how past hurts affect current relationships. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and identity concerns within LGBT contexts.

People who find meeting others, speaking up, or being observed difficult will find a calm, straightforward style in the room. Danielle works with international clients and holds UK-based registration. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Danielle uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small steps that move someone toward what matters, which can be useful for social anxiety and avoidance.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and patterns now. It often involves talking through relational themes and practising new ways of relating, helpful for intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision based on a person’s goals and comfort. She will discuss options, try approaches in session, and adjust based on what feels most helpful.

Confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel. Therapists who work remotely may also adapt exercises so people can practise skills between meetings and carry progress into everyday situations.
