About Daniel
Daniel Dumitru is a counsellor with 15 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety and life changes. He holds a BACP credential, and he focuses on practical steps clients can take to feel steadier and more hopeful. He aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable and respectful.
His style is straightforward and conversational. He creates a calm space where people can talk about low mood, confidence and difficult events without fear of judgement.
How Daniel works
Sessions often start by pinpointing what feels most pressing, then working out small, achievable changes. Daniel uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. He draws on client-centred ideas to follow what matters to the client, and on cognitive behavioural methods to test unhelpful thoughts through practical exercises.
He also brings psychodynamic and existential perspectives when exploring patterns that have developed over time. Common concerns he supports include coping with depression, managing anger, dealing with trauma, improving sleep and handling career or parenting strain. He also helps people thinking about life purpose, communication problems and those navigating LGBT related issues.
Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. Therapy is organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

How Daniel’s approaches work online
Daniel blends client-centred work with cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy means the counsellor listens closely and follows what matters most to the person, helping them find their own priorities and solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours through practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Daniel will discuss goals and preferences together and tailor sessions to what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process where the client’s feedback shapes which methods are used and how sessions are organised.
Online therapy offers flexibility and fits into busy lives. Video calls allow fuller conversation and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat is good for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, parenting or other commitments.
