Hello, I’m Dan, a Chartered Counselling Psychologist. I believe the relationship we build in therapy is at the heart of meaningful change. I offer a warm, open and non-judgemental space where you can feel safe to explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Starting therapy can feel daunting, especially for the first time, so I aim to create a space where you feel truly heard and supported. I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, attachment issues, addiction and low mood. You’re not alone—whatever you’re facing, I’m here to help.

I am deeply passionate about empowering others to find a deeper understanding of self and internal security. As an Integrative Psychotherapist, I combine various models to tailor treatment according to the specific needs of my clients. We are all unique individuals with our own unique life experiences and aspirations, I believe that therapy should reflect this uniqueness. My aim is to consistently adapt to your needs, which may vary and change across the course of our work together. By creating a safe, judgement-free environment, I invite you to be yourself as we can explore your life experiences, feelings, thoughts and behaviours.

Finding the right counsellor and someone to connect with can be daunting. The prospect of finding the right person who can empathise, listen with great care and attention is crucial. We all go through difficult life experiences and sometimes having someone who can talk to, that is impartial, compassionate and truly value you, can make such a positive impact on someone's life. So often we hear "I'm not heard" or "I feel invisible" and this can have a crushing effect on the soul. Therapy is expressing yourself without the fear of being "judged". It allows you to be you! To explore why you feel the way you do and address those issues.

I’m a qualified CBT therapist, Yoga instructor, and studied somatic psychotherapy (movement based). At times life can feel very over whelming, we can lose perspective and fall into a pattern of unhealthy habits. These behaviours may be your coping strategies to help you feel better but aren’t so helpful to your physical and mental well being resulting in feeling anxious and depressed. Having an outside perspective on what’s going on in your life can help refocus your mind and realign your life style with your core values so you can begin living with balance, integrity and autonomy.

My approach aims to provide a safe and trusted space, respectful of each individual's capacity for personal growth. Psychotherapy seeks to help each individual live a more fulfilling life. My aim is to help each person find what works in dealing with the particular circumstances and stresses which cause suffering. I have experience and training in working with complex and longstanding mental health problems such as interpersonal difficulties, bipolar affective disorder, severe depression, trauma and anxiety and currently work in the NHS in secondary care. I have worked as a visiting lecturer at City University.

The reasons for starting psychotherapy are deeply personal and unique to each person. You might be facing a major life event, such as a loss or breakup, or struggling with symptoms like panic attacks, eating disorders, addictions, or sexual issues. You might be concerned about a personal, romantic, or work relationship. It’s also possible that you feel uncertain about what’s troubling you, yet still experience an underlying sense of depression, or confusion about your identity and desires. In all these instances, psychoanalytic therapy can help you uncover the root causes of your struggles to create personal and lasting solutions.

I'm an integrative psychotherapist with 8 years experience in the NHS and privately. I draw on different approaches, though mainly I work in an embodied and relational way. Embodied as most of our emotions and life stories are stored in our bodies and relational as I believe that as we get hurt in relationship, we also heal in relationship. I work in a non pathologising way so I won't try to fix you or treat you like you're broken. Whether you’re in crisis, feel like something's missing or simply want to enjoy a better quality of life, I aim to work with you so that you can come to better ways of understanding, being and relating.

This might be a time when you’re going through life’s ups and downs, or personal challenges. You could be feeling that something is stuck or missing, or that things could be better. Or maybe you want to explore and reflect on experiences or aspects of your life. It's all natural and part of being human. Know that I understand those experiences deeply, and I can relate to the feelings of being stuck or in search of something more fulfilling. Therapy provides that unique space, focusing entirely on you, your growth, your well-being, and your journey.

Taking the step of contacting a therapist can be daunting: often, people have thought about it for a period of time, before something prompts them to reach out. However, much research has shown that therapy can be an effective way of solving many problems, whether they are about relationship problems, work problems, social fears or shyness, general presentations of depression or anxiety, or more specific mental health related symptoms, or troubling memories from the past, including childhood trauma. Therapy can also help with existential life issues or questions related to identity: who am I, and what do I really want?

As a counsellor, I primarily focus on the relationship between myself and you the client. I view each client as a unique individual and throughout our sessions I hope to create a strong enough connection between us in a safe and supportive environment that you, as the client are able to open up and make the best use of the sessions. Relating is the core of what we do as counsellors and building and sustaining those relationships in the therapy room is where everything hinges.
