About Daniel
Counsellor Daniel Palmer is a BACP member with five years' practice experience. He works with people on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, eating issues, depression, relationship and family matters, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self esteem, coping with life changes and ADHD. Sessions are available for English speakers and international clients as noted in his profile.
Daniel uses client-centred and solution-focused approaches. He aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what the person brings. Conversations tend to look at current problems and practical steps the client can try between meetings.
He has run a private practice for five years and has also worked with survivors of sexual assault and with clients at local trauma services. That background informs his work with people affected by abuse and addiction, and with those managing mood and anxiety problems.
In sessions Daniel listens for the concerns that matter most to the person. He then draws on client-centred ways of working to explore feelings and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals. This means sessions can include talking, setting small steps, and reviewing progress at the next meeting.
Practical matters are part of the process. He offers in-person work from his local base as well as remote sessions where indicated. Costs vary by location and are run through a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time. To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.
How his approaches work for remote counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person speaking and on understanding their experience. The counsellor reflects what is said and helps the person make sense of their feelings. This approach can help with low mood, relationship worries and issues tied to self worth.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, immediate changes. It looks at what is already working and sets short-term, practical goals. This method can suit stress, anxiety and people wanting clear steps to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will discuss the options and decide together what to try first, based on needs, goals and what feels most helpful. The plan can change as the work progresses so sessions stay relevant.
The profile shows he offers remote sessions alongside in-person work, but does not list specific remote formats. Please confirm current session options before booking. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, or allow a shorter check-in when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use a range of ways to work remotely, and the choice can be agreed at booking.
