Hi! I’m Danielle.
I’m a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist and former mental health nurse. I’m also someone who believes therapy can be professional and effective without feeling stiff, distant or overly clinical.
My style is warm, down-to-earth and collaborative. You’ll have space to talk about the things you usually minimise, over-explain or keep to yourself, while we make sense of the patterns keeping you stuck and work out what might actually help.
You don’t need to arrive with the right words or have everything figured out. We can start with whatever feels hardest to keep carrying on your own.

Where therapy feels like chatting with an old friend.
My background
I’ve worked in mental health for over 10 years. I started out as a support worker in a mental health hospital, which led me to study Mental Health Nursing at university. After qualifying, I spent several years working as a mental health nurse, supporting people through some of the hardest and most vulnerable periods of their lives.
I’m really proud of the work I did in that role, and of the work mental health nurses continue to do every day. That experience taught me a lot about what people can carry, and how hard it can be to keep going when things feel overwhelming.
Over time, though, I found myself wanting to work with people in a different way. I wanted to understand not only what someone was struggling with, but why certain patterns kept showing up and how we could create meaningful, lasting change.
That’s what eventually led me to complete my postgraduate training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy at King’s College London.
Now, as a BABCP-accredited CBT therapist, I help people understand what’s holding them back, make sense of the patterns they feel stuck in, and build a more secure sense of confidence, self-trust and self-esteem.
Outside the therapy room
When I’m not working, I’m usually rock climbing, engrossed in a fantasy novel, discovering my next craft project or getting stuck into a bit of DIY.
I live in East London with my partner and our cat, Ziggy, who sometimes likes to make an appearance on my video calls! I’m happiest somewhere warm near the sea, eating good food and watching a sunset that makes you want to stop and take it all in.
My Approach
Compassionate
I genuinely care about my clients and want you to succeed. I won’t just be your therapist, I’ll be one of your biggest cheerleaders. I understand how difficult and painful these struggles can feel, and I’ll be with you every step of the way as we work through them together.
Non-judgemental
Many people worry about speaking openly, but you can feel safe knowing that this space is entirely without judgement. My practice is trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming. I welcome LGBTQ+ clients, and I’m sex-positive and kink-aware.
Friendly
Therapy works best when you feel comfortable, relaxed, and safe to open up. While our work is professional, I aim to create a space that feels natural, like talking to a trusted friend. Even when we’re tackling some of life’s hardest topics.
Determined
I’m interested in helping you understand yourself, but also in helping things change.
Together we’ll look at what keeps the problem going and what might help you respond differently in real life, not just in the therapy room.
Are you ready to take back control of your life?
If you’re ready to start feeling more confident, balanced, and in control, I’d love to support you.
