About Daniel

Daniel Dumitru is a counsellor with BACP accreditation and 15 years of experience. He focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. He also supports those facing depression, life changes and career questions. Daniel offers practical help for sleep problems, anger and issues linked to trauma and abuse.

He uses straightforward conversations to work out what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to make ideas clearer and choices easier. Daniel draws on several approaches, including client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques, to match the person's needs.

In a typical session he listens first, then helps set a clear focus for the work ahead. Together they try small, achievable steps that fit everyday life. He also works on communication problems and on finding life purpose when people feel stuck.

Parents and people balancing many roles will find help with practical strategies for parenting, anger or career stress. He also offers coaching-style support for planning and decision making. Daniel is comfortable discussing LGBT concerns and ADHD among other issues.

Sessions can use different formats so people can pick what suits them best. He keeps explanations plain and avoids clinical jargon. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. It gives people space to talk and helps clarify what matters most to them. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours link to mood and stress and uses practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. They then agree a plan and adjust methods as progress is made, working together to choose which techniques to try.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client use visual cues for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when video is not convenient or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflections or people who prefer typing over speaking. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep momentum between sessions.
