Danyl Martelli, BACP

Danyl Martelli is a BACP counsellor who combines a person-centred outlook with experiential techniques. He focuses on helping people find practical ways to feel steadier and more able to cope. Sessions are aimed at making small, manageable changes that improve day-to-day life. He works with common concerns such as stress, anxiety and low mood. He also supports people dealing with grief, sleep problems and life changes. Relationship issues, intimacy-related worries and questions around self-esteem are included in his practice. Danyl has three years of experience working with a range of difficulties. He also offers support for first responder issues, hoarding, infidelity and polyamory or non-monogamous relationships. He accepts clients across the United Kingdom and internationally and carries out sessions in English. His approach is rooted in Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas. That means sessions start from a respectful, non-judgemental place, with the person’s concerns guiding the work. Practical exercises or experiential activities may be introduced when they suit the client’s goals. Therapy can include short-term practical strategies and deeper conversations about patterns and relationships. People can expect a calm, straightforward style that aims to make therapy understandable and useful. To begin, clients follow the platform sign-up and matching steps and then arrange sessions that suit them.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape emotional responses. Online sessions can use this approach to help people notice patterns in how they relate and to practise different ways of responding to others. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. In remote sessions this means the counsellor follows the client’s pace, reflects what’s said and helps clients set goals that matter to them. Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Danyl works with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative conversation and the plan can change as progress is made. Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for fuller conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer to write, want ongoing support between sessions, or need a discreet way to communicate. Remote work makes it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and reflective tasks to each format so the work continues effectively across different ways of meeting.
