Danielle White, BACP

Danielle White is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She trained as an integrative therapeutic counsellor after several years working in the mental health sector and in NHS doctors' surgeries. Danielle has seven years of practice as a therapist and brings experience from charity volunteering and clinical roles.

Her background includes work in a secure adult forensics ward and as a senior team leader in primary care. Those roles informed her decision to retrain and shaped how she approaches longer term difficulties and crisis moments. She also spent two years volunteering with charitable agencies providing counselling to people from many different backgrounds.

Danielle offers a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk through what is worrying them. She adapts her style to each person and focuses on helping clients build coping skills and practical strategies. Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what feels manageable.

She commonly supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, depression, grief, relationship problems and historic abuse. Additional areas include addiction-related worries, sleep difficulties, parenting strain and issues around intimacy and commitment.

Her work draws on attachment-based ideas, client-centred ways of working and cognitive behavioural approaches to help with thoughts and behaviours. Danielle also has experience supporting people with learning differences, speech needs and ADHD and tailors her approach to individual circumstances.

How her approaches translate to online work

Danielle uses attachment-based thinking to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and emotional responses; this can help when worries centre on trust, loss or repeating relationship problems. Client-centred work focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement, creating space to talk through feelings and decisions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and offers practical steps to change them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree on a plan together. That collaborative process makes it easier to adjust the way sessions run if something isn’t working.

Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy life and keep continuity when meeting in person is difficult. It also lets people use shorter check-ins when needed or avoid video if they prefer less bandwidth or quieter interactions. Confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available and how they might fit with your routine.
