Alongside her work in private practice, Danielle works as a Mental Health Practitioner for a charity, supporting individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties. She also has experience delivering psychoeducational workshops on topics such as anxiety and depression, and engaging individuals who may feel hesitant about accessing support.

She has extensive experience completing comprehensive assessments, developing tailored treatment plans, and working collaboratively with young people, families, and other professionals.

Prior to her clinical career, Danielle worked as a Special Educational Needs (SEN) teacher within a secondary special school, supporting young people with autism, ADHD, learning difficulties, and social, emotional, and behavioural needs.
