Daniel Dumitru

Daniel Dumitru is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He focuses on practical help for people who feel stuck, anxious or low in confidence. He aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters most to them.

He helps people facing stress, anxiety and depression, and those working on self-esteem or life direction. He also supports people coping with change, sleep difficulties, anger and workplace pressures. Daniel lists working with LGBT concerns, parenting challenges, trauma and ADHD among his areas of focus.

His way of working is straightforward and conversational. He listens first and helps clients set clear goals. Sessions can include exploring patterns from the past as well as trying out small practical steps to shift daily habits and thoughts.

Daniel draws on several therapy styles to suit different needs. He uses client-centred methods to build rapport, cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thinking, and solution-focused ideas to identify immediate next steps. He also uses existential and psychodynamic perspectives when clients want to look more deeply at meaning and past experience.

Sessions are aimed at helping people make useful changes, whether that is improving communication, finding career direction, managing anger, or feeling steadier day to day. He encourages a collaborative approach where client priorities shape the plan and pace of work.

How these approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy is about the counsellor offering genuine listening and acceptance so people can say what feels hard to speak aloud; it helps when someone needs a steady, understanding presence while they sort things out. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and anger.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss different approaches and make decisions together based on the client’s goals and preferences. This collaborative planning helps shape whether sessions focus more on practical tools, deeper reflection, or a mix of both.

Confirm the currently offered session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify them. In general, online work makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduces travel time and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use sessions from wherever they are able to be calmer and more focused, while remaining flexible about how therapy fits into everyday life.
