About Daniel

Counsellor Daniel Windemer is a UK practitioner registered with NCPS and has 13 years' experience. He works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse and related concerns listed in his profile. Daniel speaks English and practises in the United Kingdom.

Daniel uses a person-centred way of working. He offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about difficult feelings and experiences. Sessions are practical and focused on what the client brings to the room. He encourages small, manageable steps rather than big immediate changes.

In sessions he draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current feelings. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to help spot patterns of thought and behaviour. He may include elements from dialectical behaviour work and emotionally-focused methods when they suit the issue being discussed.

Clients often come with issues such as grief, parenting stress, anger, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, eating problems, low self-esteem or coping with life changes. He also lists additional focus areas including attachment issues, adoption and foster care, autism and dissociation among others. Daniel aims to help people understand their reactions and build clearer ways of coping.

Sessions follow a counselling model that aims to be collaborative. He listens, reflects and helps people try out different ways of responding. If someone wants to start, the usual route is to complete the short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session via the service button.

Approaches used in online counselling

Daniel draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationships shape feelings and responses today. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment issues.

He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression and managing stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and agree a way of working based on the person’s needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when that suits a person’s schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can offer different approaches remotely, and Daniel will explain which methods he plans to use in early sessions.
