So—you’re ready.

Ready to get well.

To stop spinning in circles.

To change, and finally make change that sticks.

And maybe you’re wondering:

Can someone really help me do this?

Someone strong enough to hold me in my pain,

honest enough to gently reveal what I can’t yet see,

and kind enough to love and accept me—even in my darkest moments?

If that’s the kind of therapist you’re looking for, welcome. You’ve found one.

I’m Dan (he/him), and I’ve spent many years helping people come home to themselves—recovering from addiction, trauma, shame, anxiety, and the deep loneliness that often underpins it all.

I believe that much of what keeps us stuck stems from the wounds of childhood—growing up in families marked by dysfunction, codependency, or addiction. These experiences shape us. And then, the world tries to sell us endless solutions that don’t truly heal what hurts.

As a Gay/Queer man in long-term recovery, I don’t just believe change is possible—I’ve lived it.

I’ve walked through fear, grief, addiction, shame, and hardship.

And I know that healing, recovering and restoring our authentic selves doesn’t come from quick fixes.

It comes from relationship, from being deeply seen and held as we are—no masks, no performance.

I’m here to walk that path with you.

To help you remember who you are beneath the survival strategies.

To support you in doing the work that only you can do—but not alone.

There's nobody else out there just like you, so how I will work with you, and how we will work together, won't be identical to how I work with other clients.

I'm mindful of using "therapese" to describe how I work - broadly speaking, the focus is on what's going on in your life at the moment and how you're experiencing that, but we may well need and want to look at how past experiences may be impacting on what's happening now.

I'll also use the relationship between yourself and myself to explore the relationship you have with your own self, with other people in your life, and your relationship with the world in general.

I use this approach and way of working because I know it has worked for me to help shift me out of my own "stuckness" and I've seen it work for others, too.

I support clients with a range of concerns, including:

Anxiety

Depression & feeling sad

Low self-esteem & low self-confidence

Sham & Toxic Shame

Drug Addiction & Alcoholism

Stress

Bereavement & loss

Loneliness

Anger management

LGBTQ+ counselling

Social Anxiety

Perfectionism

Sex addiction

Gambling addiction

Shopping addiction

If you are curious to learn more or want to book a consultation, please reach out via email, WhatsApp, or text. I aim to respond quickly to enquiries and will generally contact you on the same/next day. 

In our first session together, I will tend to ask more questions about you, your story and what brings you to therapy.

Sessions afterwards will then be a space for you to bring whatever you wish to bring to that session.
