Danielle Montano , BACP, NCPS

Danielle Montano is a counsellor with ten years' experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and blends humanistic outlooks with practical tools to help people tackle everyday problems. Danielle aims to make sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person.

She listens for the story behind the difficulty. That helps uncover patterns in relationships, eating, mood, work and self-worth. Danielle explains ideas plainly and works with clients to set small, achievable steps they can try between sessions.

Her approach draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients move toward meaningful values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques are used when unhelpful thoughts and behaviours need to be changed. Attachment-based ideas inform work around intimacy, abandonment and close relationships.

Danielle also supports people coping with grief, compassion fatigue, addiction and major life changes. She works with concerns around anxiety, depression, ADHD and bipolar alongside body image and eating-related issues. LGBT-related matters and parenting stress are included in her practice focus.

Sessions are offered in English and are available online in multiple formats. Danielle encourages a collaborative process where goals are agreed and reviewed. She helps people find manageable ways to make progress and to notice what is working for them.

How Danielle's approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take action in that direction despite difficult thoughts or feelings. It suits those who want to live by their values while coping with anxiety, depression or life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural experiments. That can be useful for anxiety, low mood, eating-related behaviours and everyday stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from close relationships and how they affect current intimacy and trust; this can help with abandonment, communication issues and relationship struggles.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle treats the choice as collaborative and will discuss which methods match a person's goals and preferences. She adapts tools over time and checks in about what feels useful, so plans change if something is not helping.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversations, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, writing things out or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
