I'm a doctor & therapist with a specialist interest in OCD. I believe that, with the right support & guidance, this is a highly treatable (!) problem. First, we must understand the nature of your intrusive thoughts & why they are causing you such distress. Next, we will explore how these thoughts influence the way you live your life. During this process, we’ll identify what is causing & maintaining your OCD &, most importantly, what needs to change to overcome it. In OCD, the problem is not an intellectual one. The issue lies at a deeper, more emotional level. Here, "actions speak louder than words".

Asking for help can be a monumental decision that requires a lot of courage. Finding the right therapist can be an equally difficult task. A therapeutic relationship needs to feel safe and collaborative, as it can serve as a foundation for healing.

Life often throws challenges at us which can be difficult to cope with. Maybe you’d like to have greater confidence in yourself, be more assertive and at work or improve your relationships? It could be you’ve lived through a traumatic experience or are struggling with addiction. Looking for a change in life direction but not sure how to do it. Therapy might sound challenging to begin but I’ve worked with many people who have gained a lot from it. Whatever is going on I’m curious to explore with you how to untangle the knot.

Hello, my name is Danny and I am a Counsellor based in Norwich. Starting counselling can feel challenging, and you may not know what to expect from your counsellor, or what their expectations are of you. My style of working is relaxed and informal. I’ll bring my authenticity to the room, and that’s all I ask of you. Through my personal and clinical experience, i’ve seen people get lost trying too hard or finding where they belong. This can also be seen in unhelpful behaviours where you try to fit in. I have a lot of success with clients going back to basics of who you are as an individual and not how you are for others.

I offer a safe, non‑judgemental space where you can talk openly and feel understood. I’m a compassionate, person‑centred therapist trained in CBT, but I adapt to the person in front of me. I specialise in Anxiety, especially Panic, Worry and Phobia, and often support people who found pure CBT too rigid. I also bring lived experience of depression, anxiety and ADHD, so I meet you with empathy and real understanding. It can be hard to find a therapist that you can click with, so the best way to see if we're a good fit is to have a free, no-obligations short chat via phone or video call.

I believe our relationship is central to the work. I believe healing happens through a safe, respectful, and genuine connection. Our relationship isn’t just a background to the work, it’s an important part of the therapy itself. I don’t believe one single approach fits everyone. I draw from different therapeutic approaches to suit your individual needs. I also believe our past experiences influence how we think, feel, and relate. Together we can explore these deeper layers and patterns shaping your life at a pace that feels safe, supporting real and lasting change.

FAQ - Therapist Gender
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.

How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.

Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.

Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
