About Danny

Counsellor and BACP member Danny Byrne has eight years' experience working with adults on stress, anxiety, addiction, depression and relationship difficulties. He also offers help around trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD and a wide range of related concerns. Sessions are described as practical and straightforward, with an emphasis on plain talk and usable tools.

Danny uses a mix of cognitive behavioural ideas for structure and skills, and client-centred ways of listening. He also draws on attachment-based thinking when past relationships affect current feelings. In sessions he aims to identify patterns that keep problems going and to find simple steps that reduce their impact on day-to-day life.

Typical work covers managing symptoms such as panic, low mood, sleep problems and addictive behaviour, and addressing relational issues such as trust, intimacy and communication. He also supports people dealing with identity and sexuality questions within an LGBT context. Sessions can include practical exercises, thought-work, and reflective discussion tailored to what the client wants to focus on.

Danny accepts clients in the United Kingdom and also works with some international clients. Conversations are held in English. He describes his style as direct and non-judgemental, concentrating on what helps most in the moment rather than theory for its own sake.

Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the See online counselling options button.

How Danny uses online counselling and key approaches

Danny draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help clients spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes. CBT gives concrete steps such as thought records and graded exposure to reduce anxiety or break unhelpful cycles.

He also uses client-centred ways of working, which means listening without judgement and following what the person brings to sessions. Attachment-based ideas are used when past relationships shape current patterns, helping people understand how early bonds affect trust and closeness now.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danny will discuss goals and preferences and adapt methods together. That means trying different techniques and agreeing what helps most over a few sessions rather than committing to a single method from the start.

The biography notes sessions are offered by video, phone or live chat, so check the current options when you book. Online sessions can fit around work, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins easier. They also let people choose quieter or lower-bandwidth ways of attending, for example phone calls when video is difficult. Confirm session formats and timings before scheduling.
