Daniel Palmer, BACP

Daniel Palmer focuses on helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed or unsure where to turn. He aims to make first steps easier by listening without judgement and helping clients find practical ways forward. Daniel presents as calm and straightforward, and he explains options in plain language so decisions feel clearer.

Daniel uses a mix of client-centred and solution-focused approaches to tailor sessions to each person. That means most sessions start with the client's priorities and then build short-term goals to try between meetings. Conversations are down-to-earth and aimed at small, manageable changes rather than complex theory.

He has five years of experience working in private practice and community settings. That experience includes supporting people affected by sexual assault and working at local trauma services. Daniel also has a background helping people with addiction, eating concerns, anxiety and depression.

Sessions are offered in person locally, by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Daniel works with English-speaking clients and accepts international clients when arrangements allow. He holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP.

People commonly bring worries about stress, low self-esteem, relationship and intimacy issues, body image, grief, anger and life changes. Practical tools, short-term goals and steady listening are the main features of his work. The aim is to leave clients with clearer steps they can use between sessions.

How Daniel’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their priorities. The therapist listens carefully and reflects what the client says, helping people clarify feelings and make choices. This approach is useful for emotional concerns like anxiety, grief and low self-esteem.

Solution-Focused Therapy aims to build small, practical steps toward change. Sessions look for exceptions to problems and set short-term goals to try between meetings. It suits people who want clear actions to reduce stress or tackle specific issues such as addiction or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and agree on goals together. If something needs changing, they adapt the plan so it better fits the client's needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let conversations feel closer to face-to-face. Phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into busy lives.
