About Daniel
Daniel Dumitru is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of experience helping people through common life struggles. He supports those feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, stress or doubts about purpose. He also helps with relationship worries, parenting strain, career questions and concerns linked to LGBT identity.
He aims to create a straightforward, non-judgemental space where clients can speak honestly about what is on their mind. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as understanding patterns that keep problems going.
Background and approach
Small, realistic goals are set so progress is clear and manageable. Daniel draws on a mix of well-known approaches to match the person in front of him rather than forcing one method. He uses ideas from client-centred work to listen deeply, and from cognitive behavioural therapy to look at unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
He also brings in solution-focused techniques to identify what already helps and build on it. People come to him for help with sleep problems, anger, trauma and abuse, ADHD-related challenges, and making life transitions. He supports those wanting coaching-style focus on motivation and confidence as well as quieter reflective work about life meaning.
Sessions are arranged through the site’s booking process and follow a clear routine so time is used well. Daniel encourages people to take small steps between sessions and checks progress regularly to keep therapy focused and useful.

How his approaches fit with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and helping people find their own answers. In practice this means the counsellor reflects what the client says and supports them to clarify feelings and choices, which can be helpful for issues like low self-esteem and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple experiments to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits, so it often suits stress, anxiety and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The counsellor will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. That way sessions stay practical and relevant, and can be adjusted as needs change.
Confirm the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy week easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera for every meeting. Registered and accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep therapy focused on day-to-day progress.
