Hello and welcome, I’m Dan. Billy Joel said, 'we all have a face that we hide away forever, and we take them out and show ourselves, when everyone has gone.' I believe the healing one seeks in therapy begins by revealing one’s private self to another. It’s a place that’s earned, slowly but surely, when client and therapist tell the truth to each other. Doing so is the heart of the therapeutic relationship; one built on trust and vulnerability.
I use a 'human-centred' approach that draws on a range of cognitive-behavioural therapies (CBT) that help to recognise unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. It is based on the idea that one’s thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected and affect each other.
I think it’s valuable for you to develop an awareness of your unique cycles of experience, so you understand what you want to find peace with, to nurture and let in, or to integrate and let go. I’m committed to creating a genuine therapeutic relationship with you that is built on respect, safety, and mutual honesty. Everything we do will be collaborative.
