About Daniel

Daniel Palmer welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck or unsure where to turn. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through what matters most to them and work toward clearer day-to-day coping. Daniel uses straightforward language and a patient style to help people take small steps forward.

He draws on client-centred ways of working, which keep the person’s needs and experience at the centre of each session. He also uses solution-focused ideas to help clients spot workable next steps and build on what already works for them. Sessions are practical and conversational rather than filled with jargon.

Daniel has run a private practice for five years and has worked with hundreds of people. He has experience supporting survivors of sexual assault and abuse through roles at local services, and he has worked in a trauma centre setting. Those roles inform his approach to complex issues.

He commonly supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma and problems around self-esteem and relationships. He also helps with body image, eating and food-related concerns, codependency, and issues linked to ADHD and autism.

Daniel is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works from the United Kingdom. He offers a direct, steady approach aimed at helping clients feel heard and find manageable ways to cope and move forward.

How Daniel’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead, so online sessions aim to recreate that attentive, empathetic space even when clients are not in the same room. This approach suits issues where feeling heard is the first priority, such as grief, low self-esteem or relationship worries.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, short-term steps that move someone forward. Online sessions can be used to set small goals, test new strategies between meetings and review what helped, which can work well for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and collaborate on which methods to use. That means sessions can shift over time to match what is helpful for you.

The original biography refers to online, phone and face-to-face sessions, but please confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel, allow a shorter check-in when needed, and offer flexibility for international clients. Many people find those practical benefits help them keep therapy going alongside everyday commitments.
