About Danielle
Danielle Montano is a counsellor with ten years of experience based in the United Kingdom.

She aims to create a calm, respectful space where people can talk through what matters to them and consider different paths forward.
Her practice focuses on everyday concerns that can feel overwhelming.
Background and approach
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, ADHD, addictions, and issues around eating and body image. Relationship and intimacy worries, communication problems, grief and parenting strain are also common topics she addresses.

She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based ideas when they fit the conversation. Cognitive behavioural techniques and a client-centred attitude shape practical steps and gentle reflection. Sessions are offered in English and can be arranged for people inside the UK and internationally.
She provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, so conversations can suit different schedules and needs. Fees vary with location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Danielle directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online
Danielle often blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories someone tells about themselves and helps separate the person from the problem so they can imagine different outcomes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, then choosing actions that match a person’s values to move life forward.Finding the right approach is usually a shared process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, try different tools, and agree on what feels most useful. Goals, preferences and how you respond in early sessions guide which methods are used and adapted over time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow real-time conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a hands-free check-in suits your day. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, more frequent contact, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for work, family or travel commitments and let people choose what fits them best.
