Daniel Palmer , BACP

Daniel Palmer is an experienced integrative counsellor and a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with both individuals and couples, drawing on a range of therapeutic techniques to tailor support to each person’s situation.

He recognises how overwhelming mental health struggles and life challenges can feel, and aims to guide people toward practical ways to feel more fulfilled and content. Sessions are centred on the individual and their needs, with an emphasis on empathy and a non-judgmental atmosphere where people can explore difficult experiences.

Daniel is based in Sleaford and offers appointments in person, by phone, and online, so people who prefer not to meet face to face can still access support. He has developed his experience over five years in private practice, working with hundreds of clients, and has also supported survivors of sexual abuse at Trust House in Grantham and worked with clients at the Lincoln trauma centre.

His specialisms include addiction, trauma and abuse, anxiety and depression, low self-esteem, and working with people on the autism spectrum and with ADHD. He also has a strong interest in men’s mental health and encourages men to consider therapy as a constructive step. Daniel understands that taking the first step can feel daunting and aims to help people feel comfortable and supported as they work through their journey.

Approaches and Practical Benefits of Online Therapy

Daniel uses client-centered therapy, a person-focused approach that prioritises the individual’s experience and perspective. It emphasises empathy, active listening, and supporting people to explore their feelings and values so they can make meaningful changes; this approach can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with life changes.

He also draws on solution-focused therapy, a goal-oriented method that concentrates on identifying practical steps and small, achievable changes. This approach is often useful for managing stress, anxiety, and problem areas where clients want concrete strategies and faster progress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Daniel works collaboratively with people to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt methods over time, combining elements to suit each person’s situation.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These options improve accessibility for people who cannot attend in person and allow therapy to continue from different locations while maintaining regular, consistent support.
