About Danielle
Danielle Hancock is a counsellor who uses a Narrative approach alongside client-centred and emotionally focused ideas. She has five years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential. Danielle aims to create a space where people can talk about hard things without judgement.
She helps people tackle addictions and substance concerns, and supports those facing relationship strain. She also works with people dealing with trauma and abuse, mood disorders such as depression and bipolar, and struggles with anxiety and stress.
Background and approach
Practical life changes and grief are part of her practice too. Danielle draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from their problems and rewrite unhelpful stories. She uses client-centred principles to follow the person's lead, and emotionally focused ideas to look at painful patterns in relationships.
Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon. Her work often covers areas like attachment and abandonment issues, codependency, communication and commitment concerns, and the impact of blended family dynamics. She also supports people working through body image worries, cancer-related strain, dissociation, and domestic violence aftermath.
Conversations are tailored to each person's situation and goals. Danielle encourages people to set realistic aims and to try small changes between sessions. She sees the therapeutic process as collaborative, honest, and grounded in respect and compassion.

Online session options
How narrative and relationship-focused therapy works online
Danielle uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reshape the stories that shape their lives. This approach helps when patterns of thought or behaviour feel stuck, such as with addiction, low self-worth or relationship hurt. She also draws on client-centred methods, which put the person's experience at the centre and shape sessions around their pace and priorities.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Danielle will collaborate with each person to decide which ideas and exercises suit their goals. She encourages open conversation about what feels helpful and will adjust the way she works as things progress.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can work well for brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress.
