About Danielle
Danielle (Dani) McTernan is a counsellor and psychotherapist practising in the United Kingdom. She holds MBACP with four years of experience and works with people from around the world. Dani describes her manner as warm, friendly and non-judgemental and aims to put clients at ease from the first session.
She believes everyone’s lived experience and story should be treated with respect. Dani is neuro-divergent and LGBTQ+ affirming and says therapy should feel like a safe place for each person. She encourages clients to bring their whole selves to the room so they can be understood and supported.
Her practical focus is on a person’s present choices and future potential. Dani helps people notice strengths, clarify what matters to them, and take steps that feel authentic. She works at the client’s pace and emphasises collaboration rather than one-size-fits-all solutions.
Dani uses an integrative and existential perspective alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. These inform how she looks at anxiety, grief, self-esteem and life transitions, among other concerns.
She offers sessions online, by phone and through live chat, and sometimes mixes these options depending on client preference. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.
People coming for help with money and financial issues can expect a grounded, respectful process that links everyday decisions to values and goals, while also addressing related stress, anxiety or relationship strain.
Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take actions that match those values, which can be useful when money worries or life changes make choices feel confusing. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical steps, often helping with anxiety, depression and stress. Emotionally‑Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and relationship patterns to help people feel more connected and understood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dani will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences, and together they will decide which methods to try. This collaborative process means the plan can change as new priorities emerge.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to work with someone who accepts international clients. The biography notes Dani offers online, phone and live chat sessions and sometimes mixes these methods to suit the client. Before booking, confirm the specific session formats and scheduling details so they match your routine. Online work can allow shorter check‑ins, quieter surroundings, or more flexible timing that helps people balance therapy with family, work and everyday tasks.
