Danielle Hall, BACP

Danielle Hall, who asks to be called Danni, is a person-centred therapist based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. They list the credential BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, alongside a practice that foregrounds a warm and empathic therapeutic relationship.

Danielle works from a person-centred foundation that values listening and authenticity. Their approach emphasises an accepting, non-judgemental atmosphere where a client’s own knowledge of themselves is respected. Rather than positioning themselves as an expert on someone’s inner life, they aim to be a steady touchstone who listens deeply and helps clients reflect on their experience so they can begin to change and improve relationships around them.

While primarily person-centred, Danielle integrates techniques from a range of approaches to suit each person’s needs, including client-centred, existential, mindfulness, and solution-focused methods, along with elements drawn from CBT, Gestalt, and pluralistic styles. Creativity is also part of their practice; they sometimes use ideas and exercises inspired by music, play, drama, and art therapies when these feel helpful. Boundaries and the practical details of any work are discussed together so the therapeutic plan fits what the client finds most useful.

Danielle specialises in relationship and sex-related concerns and is explicit about being alternative, non-binary, and kink-friendly, with a lifetime of involvement in the LGBTQ+ community. Their areas of experience include LGBT issues, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, stress, anxiety, anger, self-esteem, bipolar and depression, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. Additional focuses include autism and Asperger syndrome, BDSM, kink and alternative sex culture, body image, communication problems, emptiness, forgiveness, gender dysphoria, guilt and shame, infidelity, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, men’s issues, obsessions and compulsions including OCD, and personality disorders. Danielle’s work aims to help people feel heard, understand themselves more clearly, and find practical ways to move forward.
