About Daniel
Daniel Palmer helps people deal with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, eating difficulties and relationship concerns using a person-focused approach. He practises Client-Centred Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). He has five years' experience working in private practice and with local support services.
Sessions are built around the individual's priorities and practical goals. Daniel listens to what matters most and uses client-centred techniques to reflect and clarify thoughts and feelings. He also uses solution-focused methods to identify small, achievable steps that can reduce distress in day-to-day life.
His work has included time at local services supporting people affected by sexual abuse and trauma, and several years running a private practice. That experience informs how he supports people with addiction, trauma histories, anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
Daniel pays particular attention to issues such as body image, codependency, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, eating and food-related problems, and sexual assault and abuse. He also offers support around life purpose, men's issues, women's issues and young adult concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and he accepts international clients. Cost varies with location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a reader is invited to use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Daniel uses client-centred and solution-focused approaches online
Daniel uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what a person says, helping them name feelings and priorities. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and coping with life changes because it focuses on the person's experience and what matters to them.
He also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to identify small, practical steps the person can try between sessions. This method aims to set clear, achievable goals and track small changes that reduce day-to-day distress, which can help with stress, addiction-related goals and relationship concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. He will discuss different ways of working and decide with the client which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That choice is reviewed as the sessions progress so the plan can be adjusted.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats may also allow shorter sessions that suit a busy day or sessions without video if less bandwidth is helpful.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
