About Danielle
Danielle Montano is a BACP member and NCPS accredited counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years' experience. She combines a humanistic outlook with evidence-informed methods to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, low self-esteem, addictions, anger, grief and other life challenges.
Danielle focuses on helping people understand how their past and present shape choices today. She works in plain language and aims to make sessions practical. Conversations look at patterns, attachment experiences and current behaviour so people can find different ways to respond under pressure.
Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and an MSc in Psychology. She also lists training as a mindfulness practitioner and certification as a life coach. These influences inform how she blends reflection with skill-building in sessions.
Therapeutic work can include looking at early attachment and how it affects current relationships, learning ways to manage strong emotions such as anger, and trying out simple exercises between sessions. Danielle draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural ideas and emotionally focused approaches alongside client-centred listening.
People often come with practical goals - reduced reactivity, clearer communication, healthier boundaries, or better day-to-day coping. Sessions are conversational and aim to leave someone with usable steps they can try between meetings. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based actions rather than getting stuck on feelings. It can be useful for anger that keeps people repeating the same patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now, helping people change interaction habits that fuel conflict. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises respectful listening and building a collaborative relationship, which supports exploration of difficult emotions and decisions.Choosing the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work with the client to identify goals, try different methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most. That means techniques may shift from reflective, attachment-focused work to skills practice from ACT or CBT if that better meets the client's needs.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weeknight or a lunch break and allows for check-ins without travel. Some approaches lend themselves to brief practical exercises between meetings, which can be shared and reviewed over remote sessions. Registered or accredited professionals can help set a pace that fits everyday life while focusing on clearer communication, reduced reactivity and practical coping strategies.
