A person-centred counsellor for change
About Danielle
Danielle Montano draws on a decade of practice to help people make clearer choices and feel more like themselves. She trained in humanistic counselling and holds a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling plus an MSc in Psychology, and she works from a person-centred stance.
Danielle is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS accreditation, which are listed as her credentials. She spends sessions listening for what matters most to each person.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on understanding how past experiences and current patterns shape thoughts and choices. Danielle offers calm, steady support while helping people name feelings, set priorities and try out new ways of responding. Her practice covers a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body image, ADHD, grief and addictive behaviours.
She also works with issues such as attachment and abandonment, blended family difficulties, communication problems and coping with life changes. Danielle uses approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Attachment-Based Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside a client-centred way of working. That mix allows practical skill-building alongside deeper exploration of relationships and values.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to international clients. People can book video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling via the Start Therapy button.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to take small steps toward what matters. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and how early bonds affect current responses; it helps with intimacy, trust and communication issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to shift them, which can help with anxiety, depression and coping skills.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt methods as needed. This is a collaborative process where the client’s values and daily life guide which tools are used and how they are practised.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit people who want face-to-face conversation, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between appointments. These options let people access therapy from other locations and schedules without travelling.
