About

About Danielle

Danielle (Dani) O'Connor is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She meets people where they are and helps them make sense of difficult moments. Dani focuses on practical steps and uses conversation to find what will work for each person.

She aims to make the first steps feel less daunting and more manageable. Many people come with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma, grief or low self-esteem.

Background and approach

Dani also supports those facing addiction, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, career pressures and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. She works with a wide range of topics including ADHD, intimacy-related issues, and LGBT concerns. Dani draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy.

She shapes sessions around what the client needs, focusing on small, steady changes and clearer coping strategies. Sessions often include exploring thoughts, noticing patterns and trying new ways of responding. Clients can expect a conversational, non-judgemental atmosphere where their experience is taken seriously.

Dani believes people bring their own strengths and that therapy is a collaborative effort. The aim is practical progress rather than labels or jargon. She holds the NCPS credential and offers work that respects each person's story.

Sessions are carried out in English, and international clients can be supported. To begin, users follow the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

Online support

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a life they care about. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and tests new, practical ways of responding to unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people make different choices in close connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try different methods and decide together what feels most helpful. That collaborative process means the plan can change as needs and preferences become clearer.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by cutting travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. It can also let people choose a setup that feels most comfortable, such as not using video or keeping sessions focused on practical exercises and talk. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt their methods to the online setting so therapy remains a space for steady, practical progress.
