About Daniel

Daniel Lawrence helps people who are struggling with sleep problems, stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. He is a counsellor with eight years of experience and holds BACP membership. Daniel writes plainly and listens carefully so people can say what matters to them and be understood.

He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where conversations guide each session. Daniel works collaboratively to identify small, practical steps to try between meetings. He uses simple tools to help with mood, unhelpful thinking and ways of coping that feel stuck.

Daniel draws on approaches that suit each person rather than following one fixed method. He commonly uses client-centred ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques and emotionally-focused ideas. Mindfulness and existential perspectives also appear when they fit someone’s goals.

His background includes clinical work in the NHS, community services and higher education wellbeing roles. He has also been involved in mental health research, which he says gives him a wider view of how life circumstances affect wellbeing.

People come to Daniel for help with grief, trauma, addictions, parenting strain, body image, chronic health issues and career stress. He also supports those coping with relationship and intimacy concerns, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs and pace.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centred work puts the person’s experience at the centre and pays attention to what matters most to them. It helps with feelings of disconnection, low mood and difficulties sleeping by creating space to talk and be heard. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear techniques for managing anxiety, sleep routines and unhelpful thinking patterns. Emotionally-focused ideas help people understand and name their feelings, which can ease relationship strain and intimacy worries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will discuss options and adapt methods so they match the client's goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and the chosen way of working can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not stated in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people try techniques and sleep strategies at home and then discuss what did or did not work in the next meeting.
