About me
Hello! I’m a BACP Accredited Counsellor and Psychotherapist & an EMDR trauma focused therapist. I have a vast range of experience working with adults and young people for 11 years.
I have worked with many different people with many different needs. I have experienced many clients suffering from an array of problems, children and young people suffering from anxiety, bullying, family disputes, exam pressure, social anxiety, eating disorders to adults suffering from depression, anxiety, relationship break downs, emotional sexual & physical abuse, domestic abuse, loss/bereavement and grief.
I have gained experience from working at a Rape Crisis Centre for a number of years and I currently work in the NHS in oncology & palliative care, ICU and infant bereavement. I work with in and out patients. I often use EMDR when working with high intensity trauma and bereavement. I use a variety of techniques & offer coping strategies depending on how/what my patient is presenting with.
I have experience working in secondary schools with children aged 11-19 and I worked in a special needs/neurodiverse school with pupils aged 11-19 and teachers for many years. I have worked with Mental Health issues at MIND and a Domestic Abuse Centre. My qualifications and continued professional development training are listed below.
My core orientation is Person-Centred, which I feel is needed to create an empathetic, respectful, trusting, warm relationship. However, I will adapt my skills, depending on my clients’ presenting needs and use integrative methods to achieve the clients' desired outcome.
In session one, we will work through an assessment and contract and agree on the best way to work together. We can work towards goals/hopes and manage expectations. If EMDR is preferred then we will work towards desired hopes.
I am able to work short term or long term, face to face, online or telephone. I am flexible. I am based in Leigh-on-Sea where parking is available. Sessions are £60 per 50 minute session.
Please contact me if you feel you would like to work together or of you would like an initial conversation before we agree to work together. I look forward to meeting you. Danielle.

The BACP Accredited member (British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy)
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
