About Danny
Danny Ashen is a BACP-registered counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. He works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and major life changes. Danny also notes a focus on gender identity and autism-related issues alongside a range of personal concerns such as guilt and shame.
He approaches sessions in a straightforward way. He encourages open conversation so thoughts and feelings can be named and looked at together. He aims to reduce the clutter that makes decisions and daily life harder, and to help people notice small, practical steps they can take.
Danny uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address patterns that keep people stuck. He pays attention to attachment and relational patterns, which can affect how people respond to guilt and shame. He also works with body image, eating concerns, and experiences of prejudice or discrimination.
People who come for help with life transitions will find someone who focuses on what is happening now and what can change next. He also has experience with issues arising from sexual assault and domestic violence, and with self-harm and feelings of emptiness.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Evidence-based techniques are part of his practice. He often draws on relational and attachment-informed approaches, which look at how early and current relationships influence feelings of guilt, shame and anxiety. This helps when patterns in close relationships repeat or leave someone feeling blamed or isolated.He also uses practical, problem-focused work that aims to break down overwhelming problems into smaller, manageable steps. This kind of approach is useful for stress, low mood and for people who want clear ways to try things between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will talk with each person about what feels most useful and adjust methods as goals and needs become clearer. Clients are invited to give feedback and to shape the focus of the work as it progresses.
