Daniel Garcia Higuera , NCPS

Daniel Garcia Higuera is a counsellor registered with NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). He offers therapy in English and Spanish and draws on six years of practical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, addiction and grief. Daniel uses clear, straightforward methods to help people manage symptoms and work towards everyday goals.

He trained in psychology and completed multiple postgraduate degrees, including study in clinical psychology and third-wave therapies. This academic background informs his work but sessions focus on what a person needs now, not on labels or tests.

Daniel prefers an active, collaborative style. He uses tools from cognitive behavioural work and acceptance-based approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping. Sessions also include client-centred listening so people feel heard while they plan small, practical steps.

People come to him for a wide range of concerns, such as relationship worries, self-esteem, trauma, eating or sleeping difficulties, parenting stress, ADHD, and career changes. He also supports those facing chronic illness, bereavement, or compassion fatigue. Daniel pays attention to how life context and values shape each person’s choices.

Therapy sessions are offered online by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. The work is paced to each person, with short-term goals or longer conversations depending on what someone prefers. To begin, a short questionnaire helps match people and set the first appointment.

Approaches that translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them, then commit to actions that match their values; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and introduces practical exercises to change them, which is helpful for stress, sleep problems and mood. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathic listening and making space for a person to lead the conversation, supporting clearer self-understanding and decision-making.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and together decide which techniques to try. That collaborative process means methods can change as needs shift over time.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers more flexibility for busy schedules and differing needs. Video calls let people read expressions and use worksheets; phone sessions can fit into a short break and require less bandwidth; live chat and text messaging allow quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to continue regular work on goals without long travel or time away from daily responsibilities.
