Daniel Lawrence , BACP

Daniel Lawrence is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with over eight years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health and emotional wellbeing concerns. He combines hands-on therapeutic practice with mental health research experience, offering a rounded perspective on the factors that shape how people think, feel and relate to others. He holds BACP, the UK professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists, reflecting his professional training and commitment to ongoing development.

He works with individuals facing anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties and major life transitions. His approach is integrative and person-centred, drawing on evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt methods and Focusing Techniques to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Every meeting is designed to be collaborative, respectful and non-judgemental so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace.

Alongside private practice, Daniel has experience working in the NHS, community settings and in wellbeing roles within higher education, as well as positions in mental health research. He aims to create a calm, grounded and supportive environment where clients who feel overwhelmed, stuck or seeking greater self-understanding can work through life’s challenges. Clients often describe him as warm, thoughtful and easy to talk to.

Therapeutic approaches for online sessions

Daniel uses an integrative approach that often draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental relationship that helps people explore their feelings and find their own solutions - it can be especially helpful for issues of self-esteem, relationship concerns and navigating life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which many people find useful for managing anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Daniel works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. He aims to adapt techniques and the pace of work to each person so therapy feels relevant and achievable.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or while balancing other responsibilities, and they allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care even when in-person meetings are not possible.
