About Daniel
Counsellor Daniel "Danny" Knight is a BACP member with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, career challenges and compassion fatigue. He also offers support around anger, men’s issues and process addictions.
Daniel describes a relational way of working. He draws on Client-Centred Therapy and speaks from an interest in Jungian and existential ideas. Sessions focus on talking through what matters to the client and noticing patterns that affect daily life.
He recognises the role of belief and spirituality in some people’s experience and is comfortable discussing those themes alongside emotional and practical concerns. This can include questions about life purpose, forgiveness and coping after infidelity.
In a session he tends to concentrate on listening, reflecting and helping people name what they feel. He works with issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, communication problems and workplace stress in straightforward conversation.
Daniel also supports people trying to change habits, for example smoking or vaping cessation, and those managing process addictions such as gambling, exercise or porn. He encourages clear steps and practical thinking alongside discussion of feelings.
To start, people are invited to use the site matching process and book a first session. International clients may be accepted and sessions are conducted in English.
How Daniel uses client-centred work in online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the relationship between counsellor and client. It involves listening without directing and reflecting what a person says. This approach suits people who want to explore feelings about stress, relationships, self-esteem or life purpose in a conversational way.Daniel also draws on Jungian and existential ideas to help people look at meaning and recurring life themes. Jungian ideas can help when someone wants to make sense of patterns or symbols in their life. Existential ideas are useful for questions about purpose, choice and responsibility.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will discuss what seems useful and adjust the way he works based on a client’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods are agreed together rather than imposed.
