Danielle White, BACP

Danielle White is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has seven years of clinical experience and supports people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. Danielle works with emotional pain from trauma, grief and relationship problems. She also helps people dealing with addictions, intimacy issues and life changes.

Before qualifying as a counsellor Danielle worked in the mental health sector for over a decade. That included roles in an adult forensic ward and as a senior team leader in an NHS doctors' surgery. Those jobs shaped her practical understanding of how services and everyday pressures affect people’s lives.

Danielle draws on client-centred and attachment-focused ways of working alongside cognitive behavioural techniques. She aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what the person wants to address. Conversations move at a pace set by the client and focus on usable strategies as well as emotional understanding.

She has experience with a broad range of concerns - parenting strain, blended family issues, caregiver stress, communication and commitment worries, abandonment and attachment problems, and challenges linked to ageing. Danielle also works with issues such as domestic violence, divorce and first responder stress.

Sessions are offered in English and available online or by phone, video call, live chat or text messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

How these approaches look in online sessions

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how earlier bonds affect current trust and closeness. Online this often means mapping relationship patterns and practising new ways of relating in everyday life. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the session, with the counsellor listening without judgement and reflecting what matters most to the client to encourage growth and self-understanding. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then tests small changes to improve mood and coping.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Danielle will discuss options with the person and agree on a plan that fits goals and preferences. This happens collaboratively and can shift as needs change over time.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people read facial cues and use worksheets together. Phone sessions can be a good fit when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer writing to speaking or need more frequent brief contact. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping the focus on progress and problem solving.
