About Daniel

Daniel Garcia Higuera is a counsellor registered with the NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society). He works in English and Spanish and brings six years of practical experience supporting people with anxiety, depression, addictions and related concerns. His background combines academic study in psychology with hands-on therapeutic work since 2019.

He uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centred methods. Sessions focus on clear goals, simple coping skills and practical steps a person can try between meetings. The tone is straightforward and collaborative rather than technical.

Clients often come for help with stress, sleep problems, eating and self-esteem issues. He also supports people facing trauma, grief, relationship strain and work-related stress. He has experience working with people affected by chronic illness and addiction concerns.

Daniel studied psychology at undergraduate level and completed postgraduate study in clinical psychology and related therapies. He has worked with people in clinical and counselling roles since early 2019, gaining experience in a range of emotional and behavioural difficulties.

In sessions he aims to build a calm, respectful space where clients can talk through what matters most. He helps people notice patterns, practise small changes and find ways to manage difficult feelings day to day. Prospective clients should confirm session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small values-based steps in daily life. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It often includes short exercises and homework between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person's own goals lead the work, which can help with self-esteem and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also supports continuity of care when routines change, while letting the therapist use exercises, mindfulness and behavioural tasks that suit a client’s day-to-day life.
