Struggling with pornography, gambling, substance use, or compulsive technology use? When these patterns start to take hold, they can impact your relationships, work, and sense of who you are, but change is possible. I’m Daniel, a psychologist at Brightwell Psychology, and I work with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or caught in cycles that no longer serve them. Using practical, evidence-based therapy, I help you regain control, reduce anxiety and stress, and build a life that feels more aligned with your values, one that is sustainable, meaningful, and genuinely your own
In therapy we focus on practical strategies and psychological tools to reduce distress, manage anxiety, stress, and addictive behaviours, and regain control over your life. In a safe, supportive Telehealth environment, I tailor sessions to your needs, helping you navigate life transitions and move from short-term coping to lasting, values-driven change.
If you’ve been feeling burned out, stuck, or disconnected from yourself or others, therapy can offer a safe, compassionate space to pause and gain clarity. I support you in exploring challenges, building insight, and taking intentional, values-aligned steps toward a steadier, more meaningful, and fulfilling life when you’re ready to begin.

I strongly believe in the importance of acceptance and mindfulness-based approaches in therapy. These methods help clients develop greater awareness of their thoughts and feelings, fostering acceptance and reducing the struggle against difficult emotions.
