How Daniel works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Daniel treats it as a shared project. He will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest ways of working that match what you want to achieve. Over a few sessions you can refine the plan together so the work feels useful and manageable.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions from different locations. It can also make shorter check-ins or more focussed, skill-based sessions simpler to arrange. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt tools and exercises for remote meetings so progress can continue even when meeting online.
