About Danielle
Danielle (Dani) O'Connor is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She offers a steady, non-judgemental presence and aims to support people who are facing hard moments. Dani believes each person knows their own story and can build on their strengths to move forward.
Her work often focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. She also helps with self-esteem, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and managing the day-to-day strain of parenting or caregiving.
Background and approach
Dani notes additional interests such as ADHD, attachment issues and body image challenges. Dani draws on a range of approaches to suit different needs. She uses Existential therapy to look at meaning and choice, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build values-based action, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relational patterns.
Cognitive Behavioural techniques and client-centred listening also feature in practical sessions. Sessions are conversational and paced to the person sitting opposite her, with space to name feelings and try small changes. Dani supports people who are exploring identity, intimacy-related issues, or recovery from painful experiences.
She aims to offer clear, manageable steps alongside open listening. Her NCPS credential is given as part of her background. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
People start by completing a short questionnaire and arranging sessions that fit their schedule.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Existential therapy looks at questions of meaning, choice and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, uncertain about direction, or challenged by major life changes to clarify what matters and make decisions that fit their values.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with difficult sensations without getting overwhelmed.
Attachment-Based ideas examine how early relationships shape current patterns with others. They can help people understand repeated difficulties in intimacy, trust and closeness and try new ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and everyday constraints, and then suggest ways of combining methods. That decision is made together and can change as therapy progresses.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, reflection between sessions, or when typing helps someone express themselves. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments.
