Danielle Lyon, NCPS

Danielle Lyon is a counsellor with four years of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, relationship problems and trauma. She holds the NCPS credential and offers a warm, non-judgemental approach that aims to help people feel safer with difficult feelings. Danielle explains things plainly and works with each person to find what helps them most.

Danielle uses an integrative way of working, pulling together practical tools and reflective conversation. Sessions can include looking at past experiences, focusing on what is happening now, and using goal-focused techniques such as psychoeducation and elements of cognitive work. She talks things through in straightforward language and helps clients set small, realistic steps.

She has particular experience supporting people with sexual culture concerns including BDSM and kink, non-monogamous relationships, issues around intimacy and sexual assault, and the effects of domestic violence. Danielle also addresses shame, low self-esteem, jealousy, infidelity and addictions. Her approach is to meet people where they are and reduce shame around sensitive topics.

Danielle works with people dealing with parenting and family stress, career pressure, coping with life changes and general low mood. She aims to build a trusting therapeutic relationship and to guide clients toward clearer thinking and healthier boundaries. Conversations are collaborative and paced to each person.

Her sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to availability.

How Danielle blends evidence-based methods with online care

Danielle draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques in a flexible, practical way. One common strand is cognitive work, which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and helps with anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Another approach she uses is trauma-informed work, which focuses on stabilising distress, processing difficult experiences at a comfortable pace and rebuilding a sense of safety in relationships.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle will discuss options with each person, consider their goals and preferences, and adapt methods as therapy progresses so the work feels useful and manageable.

Online therapy with Danielle is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video lets people see facial expressions and work more interactively, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while live chat or text is useful for brief check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life and to keep sessions consistent even when routines change.
