About me

You don’t need to have it all figured out. If you're feeling anxious, stuck, or just not yourself—therapy can help.

I’m Daniel Jaeger, a BACP-registered psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience. I offer a structured, science-informed therapy process that helps you understand what’s going on beneath the surface—and gives you the tools to change it.

My approach is grounded in the person-centred tradition, but goes beyond traditional talking therapy. Together, we’ll explore your experience and link it to powerful psychological ideas—like self-worth, internal conflict, emotional processing, and how relationships shape us. You don’t need to know the theory—I’ll teach you what you need to know to better understand yourself and feel more in control.

Clients often describe our work as a crash course in how change actually happens—emotionally, psychologically, and relationally. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, performance issues, or something more complex, this process adapts to whatever you’re going through.

If you’re ready to take that next step, I offer both in-person and online therapy. You’re welcome to get in touch to ask any questions or book an initial consultation.

Training, qualifications & experience

Educational Experience 
Daniel is a UK-based psychotherapist registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). His work is grounded in the person-centred experiential approach and informed by over a decade of academic study and clinical training.

Daniel began his academic training in psychology at Simon Fraser University in Canada, where he developed a strong foundation in psychological theory, human development, and the principles underpinning person-centred practice.

He later completed a Master’s degree in Person-Centred Experiential Counselling and Psychotherapy Practice at the University of Nottingham. This training included supervised clinical placements and intensive skills development, with a focus on therapeutic process, emotional regulation, relational dynamics, and reflective practice.

Daniel’s academic work also included quantitative research examining the relationship between authenticity and psychological wellbeing within person-centred psychotherapy. This research informed his ongoing interest in translating therapeutic insight into meaningful, measurable change.

His clinical approach combines depth, structure, and clarity, offering clients both emotional understanding and a defined framework for personal change.

Professional Experience 
Daniel has worked as a psychotherapist across a range of clinical and organisational settings, supporting adults with diverse emotional, relational, and psychological difficulties.

He has provided psychotherapy through Thrive Therapeutic Services, delivering remote therapy within employee assistance programme (EAP) frameworks. In this role, Daniel supported individuals presenting with stress, burnout, anxiety, low mood, work-related difficulties, and adjustment challenges, often within brief or time-limited models of care.

This work required a clear, focused therapeutic approach, helping clients stabilise quickly, identify key patterns, and develop practical strategies for managing difficulties within demanding personal and professional contexts.

Across his clinical work, Daniel’s approach is structured, collaborative, and process-oriented. Rather than unstructured open-ended therapy alone, he works with clients to clarify goals, understand internal patterns, and translate insight into meaningful behavioural and emotional change.

He currently works with adults online and in person, supporting issues including anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma-related difficulties, ADHD-related challenges, identity concerns, and self-esteem.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
