Out of your vulnerabilities will come your strength” - Sigmund Freud
Life has a way of taking us down some pretty rough roads at times, and it can make us feel alone, anxious, angry, confused...all sorts of emotions, that when left can build and bring us down even further. It can be daunting to reach out, but that is where I can help you.
I am friendly, kind and warm. I can help you to take a look at what it is that is causing you to feel the way you do, and then together we can look at ways to improve these feelings in ways that will be the best for you. Therapy isn’t a ‘one size fits all’ approach, and so with that in mind I believe the greatest growth comes from a strong therapeutic relationship between counsellor and client.
I am licensed in the UK. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, non-monogamy & trauma and abuse.
I am an integrative counsellor, which means I am able to draw upon lots of different therapeutic models to help you in the best way I can. If you wish to go back to explore your past, stay in the here and now, or/and use CBT, psycho Education and goal orientated techniques in your session, we can do so, whatever feels best for you.
I myself have been on many journeys that have given me much experience that sits alongside my professional experience as a counsellor.
I work specifically with individuals and couples who present with issues such as shame, low self-esteem, low self-worth, anxiety, communication issues, troubles setting boundaries and a desire to rebuild trust in themselves and others. Those who have experienced trauma as a result of abuse or non- monogamy, or more specifically, both. I also work with those who have been in the adult industry.
I do not judge. I have been there myself, seen many things, walked in many shoes and mixed in many circles. I have a deeper understanding of the pain and trauma, and dis-integration of the self that can occur from these types of life experiences.
My aim is always to walk beside you as you embark on your journey. To hold and support you, giving you the space you need to explore and begin to heal. I will gently guide you towards your own goals should you wish to set them, and challenge you should you wish. I will help you find clarity, and release. Above all, I wish to help you find hope.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Danielle Lyon. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I immediately knew from the moment I met Danielle on the video that she has a positive, authentic & gorgeous energy. Even only after a few sessions with Danielle I have already started to see a huge difference in my thoughts, behaviour, feelings & I always look forward to the next time I see her.

Absolutely amazing professional. From our first meeting, she's made me feel comfortable and heard. She's absolutely stellar at finding exactly the threads to follow in our conversations. And she is incredibly proactive with trying new methodologies, proposing clear practices, giving structured tools, etc. I'm blown away by this experience!!

Danielle is attentive and considerate. She clearly understands all of the aspects of my issues to an outstanding level. She is constantly engaged in the session and frankly helps keep me sane. I have made some good gains and I cannot see any reason to changing therapists again
