Danielle Baillieu BACP & BPS Registered MSc; MA; BA(Hons);QTS;NASCO
About me
I aim to provide a safe, non-judgemental space where we can work on understanding the situation you are in and how to make changes in your life. My aim is to help you un-ravel issues, relationships and thoughts you may be struggling with. I have experience of working in the NHS, schools and charities which provides me with an extensive range of understanding of mental health issues and the importance of accessing therapy as soon as possible.
I work mainly in an existential and phenomenological way but also use other main therapeutic approaches. I offer a confidential service and am able to work with people of all ages. I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents (different settings including in school) over a 14 year period. This includes children with special needs (ASD, ADHD, Dyslexia; Low esteem etc), trauma, anxiety and bereavement.
I also work with individuals and families and have experience working in various settings including schools, hospital, charitable and private settings. I address many issues including, depression, anxiety, bereavement, social phobia, panic disorder, anger, self-harming and self-esteem issues.
CBT including Mindfulness: I have used these techniques effectively with children, adults and groups.
Parenting issues: I have worked effectively with individuals, families and groups (including workshops in school).

Member organisations
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
BACP is one of the UK’s largest professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy. Therapists registered with the Association fall into a number of different membership categories such as Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP and Registered Member MBACP (Accred), each standing for different levels of training and experience. MBACP (Accred) and MBACP (Snr Accred) members have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by the Association.
Registered members can be found on the BACP Register, which was the first register to achieve Accredited Voluntary Register status issued by the Professional Standards Authority. Individual Members will have completed an appropriate counselling and/or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but will not appear on the BACP Register until they've progressed to Registered Member MBACP status.
All members are bound by a Code of Ethics & Practice and a Complaints Procedure. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
