Daniel Palmer , BACP

Daniel Palmer is an experienced integrative counsellor who combines techniques from different therapeutic approaches to tailor support to each person’s needs. He works with both individuals and couples, guiding clients through mental health challenges and other life difficulties toward greater fulfilment and contentment. Daniel emphasizes a client-focused process that aims to help people develop practical ways of managing symptoms and improving day-to-day wellbeing.

Based in Sleaford, Daniel offers sessions online, by phone and face-to-face, so people can choose the format they find most comfortable. He creates an empathetic, non-judgmental environment where clients can talk about feelings they might not wish to share with friends or family, and where their experiences are listened to with care and respect.

Daniel’s experience comes from five years in private practice, during which he has worked with hundreds of clients, and from roles supporting survivors of sexual abuse at Trust House in Grantham and clients at the Lincoln Trauma Centre. He specialises in addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and supporting people with autism and ADHD, and he has a strong interest in men’s mental health. He holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and seeks to make clients feel safe and comfortable as they begin and progress through therapy.

Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Online Support

Daniel uses client-centered therapy to place the person’s own experience at the heart of the work, offering empathy and active listening so clients can explore feelings and find their own direction. This approach is useful for people coping with low self-esteem, relationship challenges and emotional recovery following difficult events.

He also draws on solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals. This brief, goal-oriented approach can help those wanting rapid, actionable strategies for stress, anxiety and lifestyle adjustments.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Daniel works collaboratively with each client to identify what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists may adapt techniques over time so the plan remains useful and relevant.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people living at a distance. These options make it easier to access consistent support, to fit sessions around work or family life, and to continue therapy even when circumstances change.
