Danielle Montano, BACP, NCPS

Danielle Montano is a counsellor who combines humanistic values with ten years of practice. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and holds NCPS accreditation. Danielle aims to help people understand how their past and beliefs shape their choices so they can make changes that feel right for them.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She offers a space where people can talk through stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy concerns, and issues around self-esteem and body image. She also works with addiction, grief, eating and mood difficulties as well as neurodiversity-related concerns such as autism and ADHD.

Danielle uses several practical approaches. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based action. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot patterns and try out small changes. Attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy help when relationship dynamics or past attachment wounds are part of the problem.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and an MSc in Psychology. She is also a mindfulness practitioner and a certified life coach. Those elements influence her work, which often includes gentle skills practice and mindful awareness exercises.

Danielle works with people across a wide range of life challenges, including parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue and coping with life changes. International clients are accepted, and sessions are arranged via the site’s matching and scheduling process.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing small behavioural changes to reduce distress and increase coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can be helpful when relationship dynamics or attachment wounds are present.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. Danielle will work collaboratively to see which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean combining ACT, CBT and attachment-informed work as needs become clearer over time.

The original biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or remove the need to be on camera if that helps someone engage. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists with this kind of training, often adapt techniques so they work well through remote sessions.
