Book with DanielAbout Daniel
Daniel Garcia Higuera is a counsellor registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). He offers therapy in English and Spanish and draws on six years of practical experience working with people facing common life struggles. His background includes study in psychology and postgraduate work that informs how he supports clients.
He works in a straightforward way, helping people talk through stress, anxiety, addictions and depression. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleep and eating difficulties, and career or life-change issues.
Background and approach
Daniel lists LGBT among the areas he addresses and is comfortable discussing sexual identity and related concerns. Daniel uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) and client-centred techniques. In sessions he mixes these methods to match what each person finds most useful.
Expect practical conversations, simple strategies and steady emotional support rather than jargon. His past work has included supporting people with addiction, anxiety disorders, depression, eating and sleep disorders, cancer-related distress, and patterns of emotional dependence. He also notes experience with ADHD, attachment and neurodiversity-related issues, and a range of relationship and intimacy topics.
People seeking therapy will be invited to set goals and try manageable steps between meetings. To begin, the site matching process and scheduling tools are used to arrange initial sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to values-based actions. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions by focusing on what matters rather than trying to control every thought. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. It can help with anxiety, depression, sleep and many daily problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centres on understanding and reshaping emotional responses in relationships and can help people improve intimacy and manage strong feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process helps decide whether one approach or a mix suits the situation.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It can also make it simpler to continue therapy during life changes while still using pragmatic ACT or CBT exercises and the relational focus of EFT.
