Danielle Montano

Danielle Montano is a counsellor who describes herself as a BACP member and an NCPS accredited counsellor. She has ten years of professional experience and works from a humanistic perspective to support personal growth. Danielle aims to help people understand how their life story shapes current choices and behaviours.

She uses straightforward conversations to help clients notice patterns and make different decisions. Sessions focus on what matters to the person - values, relationships, mood, and daily coping. Danielle draws on a mix of practical approaches, including cognitive behavioural ideas and acceptance-based work, to offer tools for change.

Clients can expect a respectful, non-judgemental space where autonomy and free will are emphasised. Danielle combines listening with gentle challenge to help people try new ways of relating and responding. This can include addressing anxiety, depression, stress, identity and relationship concerns.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and an MSc in Psychology, plus training as a mindfulness practitioner and life coach. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials as supplied.

Danielle also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, body image, eating-related concerns, ADHD, grief and coping with life changes. She aims to tailor sessions to each person’s goals while drawing on several therapeutic methods to suit practical needs.

How mainstream approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being led by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small, practical steps that reflect what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current ways of relating and helps people build safer patterns in close relationships.

Client-centred work places the person’s own perspective at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects understanding and supports each person to find their own direction. Danielle draws on these approaches to suit the problems a client brings, and she will talk through which methods feel most helpful as part of the work.

Many people find online therapy easier to fit into busy lives because it reduces travel and can be scheduled around work or family commitments.
