About Daniel
Daniel Garcia Higuera is a counsellor registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). He offers therapy in English and Spanish and draws on several years of practical experience to support people feeling overwhelmed by stress or anxiety. He studied psychology at university and completed further master's level study in clinical psychology, third wave therapies and addiction prevention.
Daniel has worked since 2019 in clinical roles, helping people manage addiction, mood difficulties and sleep problems.
Background and approach
In sessions he uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what changes the person wants to make. He helps people recognise unhelpful patterns and build small workable steps towards change.
Daniel also addresses relationship strain, self-esteem, grief and trauma-related concerns. He is familiar with issues such as eating and intimacy-related problems, anger and career stress. He works with a broad range of life challenges including compassion fatigue and coping with big life changes.
People who prefer a direct and practical style may find his approach helpful. He aims to make sessions clear and goal-focused while keeping space for emotions and reflection. Therapy is offered online in formats that fit different routines and needs.
Therapy approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and commit to small steps that align with those values. It is useful when anxiety or avoidance get in the way of living the life someone wants. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's own experience at the centre of sessions and offers a supportive space to talk through feelings and decisions rather than directing solutions.Choosing an approach is usually a joint process. Daniel will discuss options and try methods that match the person's goals and preferences. He adapts techniques over time so the work stays relevant and manageable for the individual.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to fit sessions around work or family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be quicker or use less bandwidth, and chat or messaging supports brief check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats offer flexibility for differing schedules and communication preferences while allowing therapists to use ACT, CBT and client-centred methods effectively online.
