About Daniel
Daniel Garcia Higuera is an NCPS credentialled counsellor who offers therapy in both English and Spanish. He trained in psychology and holds multiple master's degrees, and he brings six years of professional practice to his work. He often helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction and midlife-related challenges.
He prefers short, straightforward sessions that focus on what the person wants to change. Daniel uses techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred approaches, among others. In practice this means helping people notice unhelpful patterns, try small experiments, and build clearer daily routines.
People come for a wide range of issues including relationship strain, grief, trauma and low self-esteem. He has experience supporting those with eating and sleeping problems, as well as work-related strain and compassion fatigue. He also works with people managing ADHD, bipolar mood challenges and long-term health concerns.
His background includes a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and three Master’s degrees in related fields, with further postgraduate study in progress. He began working clinically in early 2019 and has practiced across settings that include addiction services and psychological support for medical conditions.
Daniel describes his role as collaborative and practical. He focuses on small, manageable steps rather than long theoretical talks. If someone prefers Spanish, he can carry out sessions in that language as well.

Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take committed steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses experiments and practical tasks to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating issues. Client-Centred Therapy gives space for the person to lead the conversation while the counsellor reflects and supports clearer self-understanding, which can suit people who want a gentler, exploratory approach.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Daniel will discuss different methods and agree a plan with the person based on goals, preferences and what feels most practical. That collaborative process means methods can be mixed or adjusted as progress is reviewed.
Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not detailed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around daily life, shorten travel time and allow quieter check-ins during a lunch break or after work. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when schedules change. Ask about the specific session formats offered when you begin the matching process.
