Daniel Lawrence , BACP

Daniel Lawrence is a UK-based counsellor and psychotherapist with more than eight years of professional experience supporting people facing a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges. He combines clinical practice with a background in mental health research, offering a balanced perspective on how thoughts, emotions and relationships interact. He works with individuals coping with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship and family difficulties, and major life transitions.

His style is integrative and person-centred, tailoring each session to the individual and drawing on evidence-informed techniques such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) alongside client-focused approaches. He holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his professional standing within the counselling community. Sessions are offered in a collaborative, respectful and non-judgemental environment intended to help people feel heard and supported.

Daniel places strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship and aims to blend warmth with practical clarity. He has worked across the NHS and in community settings, and has experience in mental health research and wellbeing roles within higher education. This breadth of experience informs his work with clients from diverse backgrounds and life situations. Clients often describe him as warm, thoughtful and easy to talk to, and he seeks to help people navigate difficult moments with care and clarity.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Daniel uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) as core approaches. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a supportive, non-directive relationship in which the person’s own perspective guides the work - it can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions. CBT offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which many people find useful for anxiety, depression and stress management.

He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when relationship and attachment issues are central. EFT helps people explore emotional responses and patterns within relationships and can support couples or family members aiming to improve communication and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Daniel works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. He will help evaluate what feels most useful and adjust the plan as the work progresses.

Online therapy with Daniel is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing practical flexibility for different schedules and needs. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, support continuity of care, and allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
