About Danny
Danny Ashen is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience. He focuses on helping people who are under stress, feeling anxious, struggling with self-esteem, or navigating LGBT and relationship concerns. He aims to create an open space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
Danny works with people facing life changes and helps them find practical ways to cope.
Background and approach
He has particular experience with gender identity concerns and autism, and also supports those dealing with body image, eating-related struggles, and feelings of emptiness. Sessions look to identify small steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable. He also addresses issues linked to attachment, separation or divorce, domestic violence, and recovery after sexual assault.
Guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose are other topics he commonly talks through with clients. The aim is to help people develop clearer thinking and steadier emotional responses. Danny lets each person set the pace.
He listens first, then works with them to agree practical goals and actions. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what can be changed in everyday life. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Danny offers calm, respectful support throughout that process.
He encourages people to try small experiments between sessions and to notice what helps them feel more in control.

How Danny works online
Another useful approach looks at interpersonal patterns and attachment - how early relationships affect current reactions. It helps people notice recurring dynamics and try different responses in everyday life, which can improve relationships and emotional steadiness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen, discuss goals and preferences, and together decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be adjusted as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and to keep continuity between meetings. It can reduce travel time and let people check in from wherever they are based. Since the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current options before booking to know how sessions will be arranged.
