About Danny
Danny Ashen is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has four years of professional experience and works with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Danny focuses on practical conversations about what feels difficult right now. He helps people talk through anxiety and stress, and he supports those facing questions about gender identity or autism-related challenges. He uses clear, direct language and keeps sessions focused on what a client wants to change.
Sessions often look at patterns in relationships and how these affect daily life. He also helps with self-harm, body image and recovery from sexual assault or domestic violence, where needed. He will explore how past experiences influence current feelings and responses.
Danny works in a straightforward, collaborative way. He encourages people to set small, achievable goals and to notice what changes between sessions. Conversations may include practical coping strategies and reflection on emotional responses.
He offers counselling in English across the United Kingdom. The cost varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session via the See online counselling options button.
Approaches and online counselling with this practitioner
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are used in a practical way. One approach focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. This helps when anxiety or low mood get in the way of daily life by offering clearer ways to respond to difficult thoughts. Another approach looks at attachment and relationship patterns. It explores how early relationships affect current connections and helps people try different ways of relating.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client and agree a way forward based on their needs, goals and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as things change.
