Danielle Montano , BACP, NCPS

Danielle Montano is a registered member of the BACP, the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy, and holds NCPS accreditation. With 10 years of experience, she practices from a humanistic perspective that supports people in moving toward their fullest potential. Her approach emphasizes respect for autonomy and free will, offering a space where individuals can explore how their unique life story has shaped their choices and behaviours to make clearer decisions for themselves.

Danielle frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on personal growth. She draws on mindfulness skills alongside counselling and coaching training to help clients develop greater self-awareness and practical coping strategies. Her formal qualifications include a 1st BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling, an MSc in Psychology, training as a mindfulness practitioner, and certification as a life coach. These backgrounds inform a warm, person-centered style that supports clients as they reflect, set goals, and work toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Danielle integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based and Client-Centered approaches in her work. ACT emphasizes noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while identifying what matters most to a person - it can help with anxiety, avoidance, and living in line with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns formed in early life and how they influence current connections, which can be useful for intimacy, trust, and family issues. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes empathy and the therapist's nonjudgmental presence to support self-understanding and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Danielle works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the work as trust and insight develop with time and experience.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or who live far from local services. These options make it easier to connect with licensed professionals and therapists from different locations, maintain continuity of care, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each stage of the work.
