Danielle Montano, BACP, NCPS
Empathetic humanistic counsellor for life challenges
Book with DanielleAbout Danielle
Danielle Montano is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She holds a BA (Hons) in Humanistic Counselling, an MSc in Psychology, and is a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She draws on ten years of overall experience to help people make clearer choices for their lives.
Danielle works from a humanistic perspective that values each person's unique view.
Background and approach
She focuses on helping people understand how their past and relationships shape current patterns. Sessions are aimed at personal growth and increased self-awareness rather than quick fixes. Her approach blends several practical methods.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps with unhelpful thinking and behavioural change. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to act in line with their values despite difficult thoughts. Attachment-Based ideas look at how early relationships affect present bonds and intimacy.
Danielle commonly supports people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, eating and body-image concerns, addictions, ADHD, grief, parenting strain and career questions. She also works with issues such as abandonment, attachment wounds, codependency and communication problems. Sessions aim to be collaborative and down to earth.
Danielle invites people to talk through practical steps and notices that fit their life. She encourages clients to set goals and to practise small changes between meetings.

How these approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and trying new behaviours. It is often practical and goal-oriented, which suits problems like stress, low mood and some eating concerns.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current emotional responses and intimacy. This approach can be helpful for relationship struggles, abandonment wounds and communication difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person’s goals, needs and preferences. Together they can try approaches and adjust them as needed.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm which formats are currently offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose quieter times or lower-bandwidth options if that helps them engage. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt these approaches effectively across different session setups.
