About Daniel

Daniel Palmer offers calm, straightforward support for people who are feeling overwhelmed. He makes the first step easier by listening without judgement and focusing on what the person in front of him needs. Daniel uses plain language and practical ideas so conversations stay clear and useful.

Daniel uses an integrative approach, drawing mainly on client-centred and solution-focused ideas to shape sessions. That means he pays close attention to what matters to each person, and works with them to find small, realistic changes that can make life easier. Sessions are shaped around the person's goals rather than a fixed formula.

He has run a private practice for five years and has worked with many people facing addiction, trauma, anxiety and depression. He has also supported survivors of sexual assault and abuse and has experience at local trauma services. Daniel has a BACP registration, which he lists as his professional credential.

People often come to him for help with anger, stress, relationship strain, low self-esteem and managing life changes. He also works with issues such as eating and body image problems, substance use, social anxiety and aspects of sexual health and intimacy. He aims to help people find practical ways to feel more content and in control.

Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. To begin, someone can use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How his approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters most to the person. The therapist offers empathy and follows the client's pace, which can help with issues like low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for small, practical steps a person can try between sessions. It helps people move towards clear goals and notice what changes make life better, which many find useful for stress, anger and coping with life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss needs and goals and adapt techniques so they fit the person's preferences and situation. Sessions are collaborative and aimed at what the client wants to work on.

The profile mentions online and phone work alongside face-to-face sessions, but please confirm exact session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in when needed. Phone sessions can be useful when low bandwidth or a shorter check-in suits the person. Registered or accredited professionals often use these options to make therapy more accessible.
