My ideal client may be carrying feelings that feel too difficult to hold: anxiety, depression, or trauma. Perhaps relationships feel confusing or painful, or life transitions have left them feeling untethered and uncertain. They would seek to understand themselves, why they feel what they feel, why patterns keep repeating, why certain situations can be overwhelming.

Hi, my name is Dan, I'm a qualified therapist and member of BACP. If you’re here then you’re considering therapy, perhaps for the first time. I create a calm, non-judgemental space where you can bring your worries, share your thoughts and feelings, and be heard with care and compassion. Whatever you are going through, you don’t have to deal with it alone. Through working together, we can help you understand more deeply what is happening for you, and create the possibility for real and lasting change.

In my opinion a free consultation is a must so you can get a chance to discuss what’s going on for you and how counselling could help. It’s also a chance to get a feel if we are a good match with no obligation to continue. I would be glad to hear from you to see if I can help you. "What to expect? I have a flexible approach to our sessions, I offer brief intervention work for short term problems which may be a reaction to a life event. Longer term therapy for difficulties you may have been experiencing over a long period of time.

I am a psychodynamic counsellor and psychotherapist registered with the British Psychoanalytic Council (BPC). I worked for five years providing long-term psychotherapy to individuals with histories of addiction and childhood trauma. This gave me an understanding of the extent to which adverse early experiences can impact on behaviour and psychic functioning in adulthood. I have undertaken post-qualifying training in the treatment of PTSD, C-PTSD and dissociation. I have a particular clinical and theoretical interest in states of depersonalisation, derealisation, trauma-related dissociation, and narcissistic personality structures.

Talking to a trained listener and counselor can be the key to overcoming anxiety, depression, bereavement, uncertainty in work or relationships or sorting your direction in life. As a trained psychologist and business person with 40 years experience I can provide an informed point of view on the challenges you face and help you see things from a fresh perspective. I don't believe in just asking open ended questions and being a passive listener.

Many men come to me feeling anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected, unsure how to find calm or clarity in their daily lives. You may be struggling with confidence, stress, relationship patterns or carrying tension from past experiences that still affect you. You might feel stuck in emotional cycles that drain your energy or limit your potential, yet still sense a quieter, stronger part of you waiting to be heard. I offer a gentle, grounded environment where you can slow down, understand what your nervous system is holding, reconnect with your natural resilience and begin feeling more stable and supported within yourself.

It’s 2a.m. and you feel lost. You feel like you’ve missed years of living and don’t know who you are anymore. Feeling scared, angry, or unsure is natural, as is the desire to talk with someone who won’t judge you but wondering how you could trust someone enough to do so. You can get your future back and it is possible to trust other people again. There is hope! I work with people who have experienced trauma, sexual assault, or domestic abuse, who have a new or evolving health diagnosis, experienced a bereavement, or recognise that their childhood wasn’t like other people’s. I also have a special interest in women’s health.

My ideal clients are adults who may seem to be coping on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or self-critical inside. They may struggle with anxiety, low mood, stress, life transitions, or feeling disconnected from the life they want to live. They want to understand themselves better, feel calmer and more in control, and respond to thoughts and emotions in healthier ways. Their goals go beyond symptom relief to building resilience, self-compassion, confidence, and moving towards a more meaningful, values-led life through practical, personalised therapy.

My professional expertise is in working with neurodivergent folks of all ages; those struggling with trauma and PTSD; people living with and beyond cancer and their carers; people struggling with eating disorders, body image and identity; child and adult bereavement. This wide experience has shown me how common inner struggles are, and how exploring our stories with curiosity can help us make changes in the here-and-now. I’m also a certified Therapeutic Game Master offering TTRPG therapy groups that use collaborative storytelling to build insight, confidence, and communication skills in an affirming, imaginative environment.

Jewish Counsellors
Why is it important for a therapist to be culturally sensitive?
Therapists and clients don’t need to share the same background to be able to work together, but a therapist whose training includes a focus on cultural competence may be better able to form a therapeutic bond with individuals from a range of backgrounds, as they will have experience tailoring their approach to each client—and will be prepared to acknowledge and consider the effects of cultural forces, such as discrimination, that may contribute to that client’s concerns. With a professional who has such training, a client should feel comfortable discussing sensitive issues without feeling that they need to self-censor.

How can I recognise an effective Jewish therapist?
As with members of any religious or ethnic group, just because two people happen to be Jewish does not guarantee that they will share the same values, knowledge, or experiences. A Jewish client seeking a therapist who shares their cultural identity, or for whom it’s important that a therapist share their religious beliefs, may want to discuss a professional’s Jewish background with them before beginning therapy. For someone who seeks justification for major life changes in their religious tradition, or in biblical writings, finding a therapist who is comfortable framing guidance in that context may be especially valuable.

Would a Jewish therapist have unique training?
No, but they should have the same training and certification as any other mental health professional, as well as experience with a range of evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioural therapy or mindfulness-based therapy. A therapist with this type of experience should be able to help any client feel comfortable and safe, which is essential for a therapeutic alliance. Once this is established, a potential client may want to find out more about the therapist’s Jewish background.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience with Jewish clients?
A client can directly ask a therapist if they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and if so, whether these individuals sought counseling for faith-related issues or marital or familial issues in which their Jewish background was a factor. A client may also wish to ask a potential therapist whether they incorporate Jewish teachings and values into their own professional work.

Who is included in Psychology Today’s directory of Jewish therapists?
The directory of Jewish therapists includes professionals who have opted to share their cultural background on their profiles. However, not all therapists choose to disclose their background, and they may not appear in search results for this reason.The directory also shows therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with Jewish clients and/or communities.
