About Danielle
Danielle (Dani) O'Connor is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and the effects of past trauma. Dani approaches sessions with a calm, down-to-earth manner and aims to make it easier to talk about difficult things.
Dani believes the client knows their own story best and brings the conversation around what strengths are already present.
Background and approach
She encourages small, practical steps that fit into everyday life. Sessions are conversational and focused on what feels most useful for each person. Her background includes a focus on a wide range of concerns, from self-esteem and addictions to sleep and eating difficulties.
She also supports people facing complex issues such as attachment difficulties, chronic illness, caretaker stress and neurodiversity related concerns. This breadth helps her tailor conversations to each person’s situation. Dani uses several evidence-informed ways of working to suit different needs, including cognitive and acceptance-based approaches and attachment-focused listening.
She aims to help people make sense of patterns, try new ways of coping, and choose actions that match their values. People who prefer a respectful, steady presence and practical suggestions often find her style helpful. Dani offers a welcoming space to explore feelings and to plan realistic changes one step at a time.
How Dani adapts therapies for online work
Danielle often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT helps people notice and test the thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going, and it is useful for anxiety, mood and sleep difficulties. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, then choosing actions that reflect personal values to build a meaningful life.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dani will discuss preferences, goals and what feels most helpful, and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made or needs shift.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video lets conversations feel close to face-to-face, phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can fit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, care duties and travel, while keeping therapy practical and accessible.
