About Danny
Danny Ashen is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has four years of professional experience and focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Danny aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk honestly about what matters to them.
He works with individuals to clarify what they want to change and to build small practical steps toward those goals.
Background and approach
Sessions are straightforward and conversational, with time to name difficult feelings and to try out new ways of dealing with them. He pays attention to how past attachments and current relationships shape everyday struggles. Danny also offers support around gender identity concerns and autism, helping people process challenges related to identity and social connection.
He addresses issues such as body image, guilt and shame, isolation, and the emotional impact of violence or abuse in clear, steady ways. People meet him for help with life transitions, divorce or separation, eating and food-related issues, and to cope with prejudice or discrimination.
He recognises that practical routines and small changes can make a difference, and he works at the client’s pace. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to the therapist’s availability.

Practical approaches for online work and identity concerns
Many of Danny’s sessions draw on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people make clear, manageable changes. One common approach helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns, test them, and replace them with alternatives to reduce anxiety and self-doubt. This method can help with stress, panic and low self-esteem.Another useful approach focuses on how early attachments affect current relationships. It looks at patterns of connection and distance and helps people try different ways of asking for support and setting boundaries. This is often helpful for relationship strain, loneliness and attachment issues.
Choosing the right way of working is part of the therapy process. Danny will discuss options with the client, consider their goals and preferences, and decide together which approach to try first. The plan can change as needs become clearer, and progress is reviewed collaboratively.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Because the exact session formats are not specified here, please confirm the available options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to schedule around work or study and useful for keeping continuity during life transitions.
