Danielle Montano, BACP, NCPS

Danielle Montano is a UK-based counsellor with ten years of professional experience who draws on a humanistic foundation to support clients through personal growth and life transitions. She is a registered member of the BACP and holds NCPS accreditation, credentials that reflect her training and commitment to professional standards in counselling. Danielle combines empathic listening with practical tools to help people understand how their personal history and worldview shape their choices and actions, so they can make decisions that align with their values and goals.

Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body-image challenges, self-esteem, addictions, grief, parenting and family difficulties, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, ADHD, and coping with life changes. Danielle also works with issues related to attachment, abandonment, trauma-related dissociation, codependency, and blended family dynamics. She welcomes clients from diverse backgrounds, including LGBT clients, and accepts international clients who seek support in English.

Danielle's training includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and an MSc in Psychology, and she is trained as a mindfulness practitioner and a certified life coach. With respect for each person's autonomy and capacity for change, she offers a collaborative space where clients can explore their experiences and build practical strategies for wellbeing and resilience.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Danielle uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and to identify values-based actions that bring more meaning and direction to daily life. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and managing low mood.

She also integrates Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships and attachment patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This work is often useful for couples, intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and improving communication within families.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle will work with each client to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the focus over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing clients to fit support around work, family and travel. These options make it easier to access consistent care from licensed professionals regardless of location, and to continue therapy through life changes or when in-person sessions are not possible.
