About Danielle

Danielle Montano works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy issues, eating concerns, self-esteem, addictions and a broad range of life changes using humanistic and integrative counselling approaches. She is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and holds NCPS accreditation, with ten years' experience in the field.

Danielle combines a humanistic outlook with elements of cognitive and attachment-based work. Sessions focus on understanding how a person's history and beliefs shape current choices and behaviour. She uses practical conversations that aim to increase awareness and help people make different decisions in day-to-day life.

Her approach includes acceptance and commitment ideas, client-centred listening and emotion-focused techniques. That mix is applied to issues such as grief, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, compassion fatigue and post-separation adjustment. She also works with topics like body image, codependency, communication difficulties and blended family strain.

Danielle supports people dealing with divorce, domestic violence, dissociation and the aftermath of natural or human-caused disaster. She takes a clear, respectful stance on autonomy and choice while exploring attachment and abandonment wounds where relevant.

Sessions are conducted in English and she is able to accept international clients. Payment is managed through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary by location. To begin, clients use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Danielle uses key approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and values, then take actions that match what matters to them; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns, and helps people understand and change unhealthy interaction styles, which can help with intimacy and abandonment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy relies on careful listening and reflecting to help people clarify choices and increase self-understanding, useful for self-esteem, grief and career decisions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then agree a way of working together. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed over time as needs change.

Please confirm the session formats offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, and they can allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that suits the person. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can use remote work to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances make in-person appointments difficult.
