About me

Hi, I'm Danielle

An Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, offering in-person and online appointments. 

I work with adults experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship issues, trauma, stress, grief, life transitions, OCD, health anxiety, and body-image.

As an integrative therapist, I tailor my approach to each individual, drawing from different therapeutic models to suit your unique needs, goals, personality, and preferences. Our work together will be shaped around what feels most helpful for you. I draw upon a range of evidence-based approaches such as;

  • Psychodynamic Therapy
  • Transactional Analysis
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
  • Solution-Focused Therapy

Whether you're facing a specific difficulty, feeling stuck, or simply looking to understand yourself on a deeper level, I aim to provide a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental environment.

Training, qualifications & experience

  • Level 7 Post Grad Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy 
  • Masters in Psychology 
  • Undergrad degree in Nutrition

Before training as a therapist, I gained a degree in Nutrition and a Master’s in Psychology. Since then, I have developed experience across a range of settings, including health and fitness, competitive sport, addictions and substance misuse services, and non-profit organisations supporting people with disabilities and health conditions to remain in or return to employment.

These diverse experiences have given me a broad understanding of the many challenges people can face and the complex range of factors that can influence emotional wellbeing. They have also shaped my appreciation of each person as an individual, with their own experiences, circumstances, strengths and needs.

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.

Accredited register membership

British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy
Accredited Register Scheme

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.

The frequency of sessions is ultimately your choice, and we can take a flexible approach depending on how you’re feeling and what feels right for you between sessions. Most clients choose to meet either weekly or fortnightly.

Some people may find that a handful of sessions is enough, while others may benefit from longer-term support. We can regularly review how things are going and tailor the approach to your individual needs.

Further information

In your first session we will take a deeper dive into what has brought you to therapy and explore your needs. 

We can talk about what you're currently experiencing, what you might hope to get from counselling and anything that feels important for me to understand. I will also explain a little about how I work and give you space to ask any questions. 

There's no pressure to have everything worked out or know exactly where to start. My role is to help with this by asking questions to get to know you and understand your experiences better - We will always go at your pace and see what feels comfortable for you. 

The first session is also a chance for you to get a sense of whether you feel I'm someone you would like to work with.

Before booking your first appointment, I offer a free 20 minute phone call to answer any questions you may have before starting therapy.
