About Danielle

Danielle (Dani) O'Connor is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship troubles, grief, low self-esteem and the effects of trauma and abuse. Dani aims to offer a calm presence and practical support while people work through difficult moments.

She uses a straightforward, person-centred way of working that treats each person as the expert in their own life.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and focused on what matters to the individual. Dani listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people notice resources they already have. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking and take meaningful action.

Attachment-based ideas also inform how she thinks about relationships and closeness. Together these approaches are aimed at building everyday coping skills and clearer decision-making. Dani often supports people dealing with substance and behavioural addictions, career stress, parenting strain, chronic illness, and challenges around body image and intimacy.

She also works with concerns linked to neurodiversity, adoption and foster care backgrounds, and complex grief experiences. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. Dani describes the therapeutic process as a collaboration - she helps set goals, try out new ways of coping, and review progress as people move toward a steadier life.

How Dani uses online therapy and therapeutic approaches

Danielle integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her work to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and managing ongoing life stresses by focusing on meaningful steps rather than trying to eliminate difficult feelings.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT offers practical strategies for shifting patterns that maintain anxiety, low mood or sleep problems and is often used to build coping skills in day-to-day life.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Dani works collaboratively to decide what methods suit each person's goals and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt techniques so sessions stay relevant to the issues being tackled.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which can fit around work, caregiving or travel. Video is good for more in-depth sessions, phone calls need less bandwidth, and messaging can suit short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
