About Danny

Danny Byrne is a counsellor who combines practical techniques with straightforward conversation. He works with adults on issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, addictive patterns and relationship struggles. Danny uses plain language and aims to make each session feel direct and useful.

He holds BACP which is shown as his credential. Over eight years he has helped people manage stress, sleeping problems, low self-esteem and major life changes. He also supports clients dealing with grief, career pressures, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Danny draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for structure and practical tools. He also uses Client-Centred Therapy to offer empathic, non-judgemental listening and Attachment-Based ideas to help with relationship and intimacy-related issues. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and on simple, repeatable steps they can try between meetings.

His style is down-to-earth and straightforward. Conversations aim to identify patterns, create small experiments and build skills for handling difficult moments. Danny also works with concerns such as body image, sexual expression and communication problems, and supports people exploring identity and LGBT issues.

He offers sessions that fit around work and family life, and accepts international clients. To start, clients complete a short questionnaire and book according to the available schedule.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice how they relate to others and work on trust, boundaries and intimacy in a practical way.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers clear tools and exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems and breaking cycles that keep problems going.

Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on empathic listening and helping people find their own solutions. This approach supports exploration of identity, self-esteem and relationship concerns through steady, respectful conversation.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to agree what to try first and will adjust methods based on progress and preferences. That means sessions can combine practical exercises, reflective listening and strategies to try between meetings.

Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile notes flexible options such as video, phone and live chat but schedules and exact offerings can change. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time so therapy slots are easier to attend.
