Danielle Hall, BACP

Danielle Hall prefers to be called Danni and works as a person-centred therapist who places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of change. Danni brings warmth and empathy to each session, offering an authentic, non-judgemental space where clients are invited to explore feelings and life patterns. Registered with the BACP - the UK professional body for counselling and psychotherapy - Danni has built six years of experience within mental health and helping roles.

Rather than positioning themselves as an expert on a client's life, Danni aims to be a reliable touchstone for emotional needs, listening closely to support clearer self-understanding. As clients begin to reflect and accept who they are in the present, Danni works alongside them to foster shifts in self-relationship and in relationships with others. Initial work focuses on getting to know one another and establishing boundaries that feel right for the individual.

While primarily person-centred in approach, Danni draws on techniques from CBT, Gestalt and pluralistic methods and enjoys creative, outside-the-box tools from music, drama, play and art-based work when helpful. Open to working with people of all backgrounds, Danni specialises in relationship and sex-related concerns, and is non-binary and kink-friendly, informed by a lifetime of involvement in the LGBT+ community.

Areas of experience include ADHD and autism, anxiety and stress, relationship difficulties, depression, anger management, coping with change, sex and gender and body issues, and trauma and abuse. Danni tailors the pace and methods of therapy to what each person finds most useful, collaborating to discover practical and meaningful ways forward.

Approaches that guide online therapy and support

Danielle often works from a client-centred perspective, focusing on creating an empathetic, accepting relationship that helps clients explore their experience and build a stronger sense of self. This approach suits people seeking deeper self-understanding and improved relationships.

Mindfulness therapy is used to help clients develop present-moment awareness and tools for managing stress, anxiety and emotional overwhelm, often through simple attention and breathing practices that can be adapted for online sessions.

Solution-focused techniques are also part of Danielle's work when clients want practical, goal-oriented steps to address specific problems or transitions; this approach emphasises small, achievable changes and what is already working in a person’s life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Danielle collaborates with each client to identify which styles and tools feel most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences. Together they shape a plan that can evolve as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for check-ins and paced reflection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations, supporting continuity of care and accessible, regular contact.
