About Danielle

Danielle (Dani) McTernan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years' experience. She works online with people from different places and meets clients with respect and curiosity. Dani is neuro-divergent and LGBTQ+ affirming and aims to create a calm, non-judgemental space for conversation.

She focuses on how a person's lived experience shapes the present. Sessions look at current choices, meaning, and what matters to the individual.

Background and approach

Dani helps people make decisions that feel authentic and in line with their values. Her style is warm, flexible and patient. Dani uses an integrative, existential outlook alongside trauma-focused ways of working when useful.

She will move at the client's pace and adapt conversations to what feels most helpful in the moment. Typical areas she helps with include trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, stress and challenges around intimacy. She also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, parenting strain, sleeping problems, chronic illness or caregiving stress.

Sessions may be by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging according to preference. Dani encourages clients to identify their strengths and to explore small steps toward change. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person is treated as the expert in their own life.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy

Danielle commonly draws on trauma-focused work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred ways of working. Trauma-focused approaches look at the impact of difficult or harmful events and help people process painful memories while learning coping strategies for triggers. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, clarify what matters to them, and take small committed steps toward those values. Client-centred therapy prioritises the person's experience, offering empathy and understanding so they can reflect and make choices at their own pace.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Dani will talk through options, listen to your goals and try different ways of working to find what fits. That decision is collaborative and can change as needs evolve.

Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which can make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or want ongoing written contact between sessions. These options can help fit therapy around work, family life and different routines while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
