About Daniel

Daniel Garcia Higuera is a counsellor registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). He offers therapy in English and Spanish and has practised for six years. People come to him for help with stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and intimacy-related issues.

He trained in psychology and completed a Bachelor of Science and multiple master's degrees, focusing on clinical psychology, third-wave therapies and addiction prevention. His background includes working in settings where he supported people with eating and sleeping problems, cancer-related emotional needs, and emotional dependence.

In session he uses everyday, practical approaches. He draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and client-centred ideas to guide conversations. Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, behaviour-focused tasks and straightforward reflection on values and choices.

He has experience helping people manage trauma, grief, anger and relationship strain. He also addresses concerns linked to ADHD, body image and caregiving stress. Work may involve building coping strategies, tackling unhelpful thought patterns and practising small behavioural changes.

Daniel aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for people to talk things through. He encourages clear goals and practical steps between sessions. Prospective clients can decide if his way of working feels like a good fit before they start.

How his approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take actions that match those values. It often includes brief mindfulness exercises and practical steps to reduce avoidance. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through structured tasks and experiments between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental conversation where the person leads the pace and topics.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and past experiences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made if something does not fit.

If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session formats before booking as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer speaking in their own space or who benefit from using mindfulness and behavioural tasks at home. Registered or accredited professionals adapt these approaches to make therapy practical and useful for everyday life.
