About Danielle

Danielle Montano brings ten years of helping people through personal challenges. She is a BACP member and holds NCPS accreditation. Danielle works from a humanistic stance and emphasises respect for each person's autonomy and choices.

She aims to help people understand how their life story shapes decisions. Sessions focus on clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Danielle uses compassion and curiosity to make space for difficult feelings and new perspectives.

Her background includes a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling and an MSc in Psychology. She also lists mindfulness practice and life coaching among her skills. These elements feed into a flexible approach that adapts to what each person needs.

Danielle draws on several therapeutic methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based work, Client-Centred approaches, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She applies these methods in plain language to address issues like anxiety, depression, stress and relationship and intimacy concerns.

She also supports people facing grief, parenting pressures, eating and body-image struggles, addiction and compassion fatigue. Danielle notes an additional focus on coping with natural or human-caused disaster and on areas such as abandonment, attachment issues and autism or Asperger syndrome.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. The emphasis is on helping individuals make choices that fit their values and daily life.

How therapeutic approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a life that matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships influence current bonds and communication, which is useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will discuss options and decide collaboratively which methods match the person's goals and preferences. That means trying practical exercises, reflecting on patterns and adjusting the plan as things progress.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let a person use quieter surroundings, manage camera use, or choose times that suit work and family life. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote sessions to keep progress moving forward.
