Danielle Hancock , NCPS

Danielle Hancock is a counsellor who uses a person-centred way of working. She focuses on listening closely and building a trusting relationship so people can explore hard issues at their own pace. Danielle holds NCPS and has five years of professional experience in the UK supporting people through difficult life moments.

She helps people who are dealing with addictions and drug and alcohol problems. She also supports those facing relationship strain, communication problems, divorce and separation, or the challenges of blended family life. Common themes she sees include anxiety, depression, grief and coping with life changes.

Danielle works with trauma, domestic violence, dissociation and complex presentations such as co-morbidity and personality-related concerns. She also addresses intimacy-related issues, body image and commitment or abandonment worries. Her approach is adaptable so each session focuses on the person in front of her.

Her methods draw on client-centred ways of relating, emotionally-focused work, and mindfulness practices. These approaches help people notice feelings, develop clearer communication and try small changes that feel manageable. Danielle aims to make sessions practical and straightforward.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Together with each person she shapes goals and explores coping tools, daily strategies and meaning around life events. Danielle offers support with sensitivity, respect and compassion for each individual’s experience.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre of sessions and focuses on empathic listening, reflection and paced dialogue to help someone feel understood and decide what change they want. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name their emotions, improve how they communicate about feelings and build stronger emotional responses in close relationships.

Finding the right approach is often part of the work. Danielle will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try ways of working and adjust the approach as needed so therapy fits the person rather than the other way around.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions suit deeper conversational work and visual cues, while phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging offer ongoing support between meetings and can help people fit therapy around work or caregiving commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats to keep therapy flexible and accessible for a range of needs.
