Danielle Hall, BACP

Danielle Hall (BACP), who asks to be called Danni, is a client-centered therapist in the United Kingdom with six years of experience. They bring a warm, empathic style to each session and aims to create an authentic, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK.

Danielle works from a belief that the client is the expert on their own life and that therapy is a collaborative process. They listen closely and act as an emotional touchstone while helping clients reflect, accept, and begin to build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Initial sessions focus on getting to know one another and establishing whether the therapeutic relationship feels like the right fit.

Although primarily person-centred, Danielle draws on techniques from CBT, Gestalt and pluralistic approaches and sometimes uses creative methods from music, play, drama and art therapies when these feel helpful. They are open to working with people across many issues but specialises in relationship and sexual concerns. Danielle is non-binary, kink-friendly and has long-standing ties to the LGBTQ+ community. Areas of experience include ADHD, autism, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, depression, career concerns, anger management, coping with change, sex and gender matters, body issues, and trauma and abuse.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Danielle

Danielle integrates client-centered work with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to support change in an online format. Client-centered Therapy is based on building a trusting, non-judgemental relationship where the therapist listens deeply and helps clients find their own answers - it is often useful for exploring identity, relationships and self-esteem. Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple practices to help people tune into the present moment, reduce reactivity to stress and develop steadier emotional awareness, which can help with anxiety, depression and overwhelm. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and strengths to move toward specific goals, making it helpful when clients want to address immediate problems or build new patterns of coping.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey. Danielle works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods feel most helpful based on individual needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses.

Online sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living far from services. These options allow clients to access registered professionals and therapists from wherever they are, choose the format that feels most comfortable, and fit therapy into day-to-day life with greater ease.
