Daniel Lawrence, BACP

Daniel Lawrence is a UK-based counsellor and psychotherapist with more than eight years of professional experience supporting people through a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges. He combines clinical work with a background in mental health research, which informs a broad understanding of how thoughts, feelings and relationships interact and influence wellbeing.

Working in both the NHS and community settings as well as in higher education wellbeing roles, Daniel draws on an integrative, person-centred approach. He tailors each session to the needs of the individual and uses evidence-informed techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Gestalt work and Focusing methods to address issues such as anxiety, stress, depression, low self-esteem, grief, trauma and relationship difficulties.

Daniel aims to create a collaborative, respectful and non-judgemental space where people can explore what brought them to therapy at their own pace. He is a member of BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects his commitment to professional standards in therapeutic practice. Clients often describe him as warm, thoughtful and easy to talk to.

Whether someone is feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves during life transitions, Daniel offers a calm and grounded presence to help navigate those challenges. More information is available at www.lawrencetherapy.co.uk

Client-centred and evidence-based approaches for online therapy

Daniel integrates Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) into online work. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship where the person’s own goals guide the process - this approach is helpful for building self-understanding, exploring emotions and improving relationships. CBT offers structured techniques to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Daniel works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the way sessions are delivered as the work evolves with input from registered professionals and therapists when appropriate.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility and accessibility, allowing people to access support around work, family and other commitments. These options make it possible to continue consistent therapy from different locations while maintaining the same therapeutic focus and collaborative planning used in face-to-face work.
