Daniel Lawrence, BACP

Daniel Lawrence is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom with more than eight years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health and emotional wellbeing concerns. He holds the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and combines clinical work with a background in mental health research to inform a rounded, evidence-aware approach.

He works with people facing anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties and major life transitions. His practice is integrative and person-centred, adapting each session to the individual using techniques drawn from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt work, and Focusing Techniques. Sessions are collaborative and respectful, designed to offer a non-judgemental space where clients can explore what brought them to therapy.

Daniel believes therapy should be both compassionate and empowering, and the therapeutic relationship is central to his work. Clients often describe him as warm, thoughtful, and easy to talk to. Alongside private practice he has experience in the NHS, community settings, mental health research, and wellbeing roles within higher education, which informs his ability to work sensitively with people from varied backgrounds.

Starting therapy is a meaningful step and Daniel aims to provide a calm, grounded environment where people can work at their own pace. More information and his blog are available at www.lawrencetherapy.co.uk

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Daniel predominantly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and may draw on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationships are central to the work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an accepting, empathic space where the client leads the pace and focus of sessions - it helps people who need understanding and support to explore personal values, identity and life choices. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is often helpful for managing anxiety, low mood and stressful habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on emotional experience and attachment patterns to improve relationship connection and communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Daniel works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences and circumstances, and sessions can be adapted over time as needs change. This shared process helps ensure the approach feels relevant and supportive.

Online therapy with Daniel is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work, reduce travel time, and allow people to choose the format that feels most manageable for them.
