Daniel Garcia Higuera, NCS
About me
I am an accredited counsellor of the NCS (National Counselling Society) and an accredited graduate psychologist of the BPS (British Psychological Society) and COP (Colegio Oficial de Psicologia) with over 8 years of qualification (BSc and 3 MSc) and over 3 years of experience working as a Counsellor and Psychotherapist. I provide therapy in English and Spanish.
Due to my background, I can help people by providing Counselling, ACT, CBT, Mindfulness, Emotion Management and Positive Psychology. Most of my experience is working with people with relationship problems, addiction problems, anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, cancer, emotional dependence, communications problems, phobias and self-esteem problems. The age range I have been working with is from 13 to 75 years.
I have studied a Bachelor's degree in Psychology at the University of Almeria and 3 Master's degrees (Clinical Psychology, Third Wave Psychological Therapies and Prevention of Addictions) at the International University of Valencia and at the International University of La Rioja. I am currently waiting to complete my master's dissertations for my fourth Master's degree (Bioethics).
I have more than 3 years of experience working as a psychologist/counsellor, beginning in early 2019. Since that moment I have been working in several different places as a psychotherapist with people with addiction problems, anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, sleep disorders, cancer, emotional dependence, communications problems, phobias and self-esteem problems.
Now I am working with BetterHelp and I am really looking forward to working with you. I generally check messages here a few times per day every day, including weekends, and I can open slots for live sessions in weekend if you need it too.

Written on Mar 16, 2023 after therapy with Daniel for 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, and self esteem
Daniel has been a great help. Since the beginning he has been very understanding, listening to everything I tell him. Sharing my thoughts and problems with him has been helpful in so many ways, as to have a new perspective on things, to look inside and try understanding where things come from, as to find new solutions together. I highly respect his work a therapist and am very thankful for his professional approach.

Daniel is such a kind and thoughtful therapist who really makes you feel that he cares and always there to listen and advise. Really recommend him to anyone struggling and needing a patient and empathetic therapist to really validate how you’re feeling and to give practical steps for how to deal with your issues. Thanks Daniel!
