About

Danielle (Dani) McTernan is a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and works from the United Kingdom. She brings over four years of experience working with Betterhelp, alongside a private practice and roles with two external clinical therapy organisations. Danielle welcomes clients from around the world and meets each person with respect and curiosity, holding space for both differences and common human experience.

She believes that a person’s lived experience and life story deserve careful attention. Danielle identifies as neuro-divergent and is LGBTQ+ affirming, and she aims to make therapy an accessible and respectful space for every individual. Her style is warm, friendly and non-judgemental, intended to put people at ease as they explore their reasons for seeking support and the kinds of help they might need.

Danielle is flexible about session formats and is comfortable meeting online, by phone or through live chat, and often combines these methods where helpful. She works in an integrative and existential way, engaging with the fundamental questions many people face - for example, how to manage anxiety, how to find meaning, how to make choices when outcomes are uncertain, and how to relate to the experience of loss or mortality. Her focus is on clients’ present choices, lived experience and future potential, helping people make decisions that feel authentic and empowering.

Danielle frames clients as experts in their own stories and highlights the strengths they already have to meet life’s challenges. She recognises the courage involved in seeking a more fulfilling life and positions herself as a supportive, empowering partner in that journey.

Could Remote Therapy Be a Good Fit?

Many people wonder whether meeting with a therapist remotely can really help. For a range of common concerns - such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and navigating life changes - online therapy can be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions, and many people find it supports meaningful progress.

One of the main advantages is flexibility. Individuals can connect in the format that feels most comfortable to them - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging - which often makes it simpler to fit therapeutic work into a busy schedule.

Therapists are licensed professionals, and it is possible to change practitioners if a different fit is needed. Online work offers a way to access licensed professionals from greater distances while still focusing on practical, effective support for everyday challenges.
