Danielle Hensman

Hi there, and a very warm welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

I am a counsellor with a mental health service built on the belief that everyone deserves a safe, compassionate space to heal, grow, and thrive. As a qualified Counsellor and Psychotherapist with 10 years of experience, I have had the privilege of walking alongside individuals through a wide range of life's challenges. My core approach is deeply person-centred, which means that from our very first session, you will find a non-judgemental environment where you can feel truly heard, understood, and accepted exactly as you are.

While providing a comforting and safe space is the foundation of my work, I also believe that meaningful growth often requires a more active, collaborative partnership. Alongside traditional talk therapy, I integrate a solution-focused approach into our sessions. This means we won't just explore the past; we will look forward, identifying your natural strengths and focusing on the practical steps you can take to build the life you want. To help you break through old patterns, I will gently challenge you where appropriate. 

To support this process from a deeper perspective, I hold specialist training in the Mind-Body Attunement approach. This is a trauma-informed method that focuses on working with the nervous system to support emotional regulation and deep healing. By combining these philosophies, I am able to offer you thoughtful reflections and observations to help you gain a deeper self-understanding, while also exploring the constructive strategies and skills that actively support your daily wellbeing.

I also offer dedicated, specialist support for both men and women who are navigating the profound grief of losing a baby, having trained extensively with the Infant Loss Foundation.

Whenever you feel ready to take that next step, please know that I am here to welcome you.

There are a variety of approaches to the way practitioners work with their clients. I have been trained in a therapeutic approach called Person Centred. This method of therapy, provides you with the space to express your thoughts and feelings and I will use reflection and observations to enhance your self awareness and process your emotions.

Session Boundaries

During your telephone or video session you will be required to be in a quiet space, on your own. The sessions are not allowed to be recorded. Driving is not permitted during the session. Please be mindful that children are unable to be present during your session. Sessions can be terminated and charged at the full rate if children are with you. There is a 48-hour cancellation policy in place. If you cancel or change your session slot within this time, you will still be charged the full rate.

Please be aware, if you are late to session, I will wait for 10 minutes before I will close the session. This will still be charged at the full rate.

Contact between sessions.

If you require my urgent professional services between sessions, I can be contacted during my normal working hours by email or text. I will endeavour to reply to you as soon as possible, but there may be a delay.

If you are unable to wait for me to reply, or require emergency or urgent professional assistance outside my normal working hours, please contact NHS direct telephone 111, your GP, the emergency services or the Samaritans freephone 116123.

Termination of contract

I provide both short and long-term therapy and we can discuss the planned duration of our work together during

our initial session. We will review your progress after every tenth session. In some situations, it may be necessary for me to terminate our professional relationship, in accordance with my code of conduct, I will inform you if this is the case. 

I currently offer online and telephone counselling, nationwide. 

I work Monday - Thursday daytime hours and evening and weekends in half term and school holidays.
