Dan believes that most people will benefit from therapy, however, many people are apprehensive about the process. The decision to enter therapy is courageous yet sometimes difficult, and Dan aims to offer you a supportive space so that you can allow yourself the time and patience needed to better understand yourself and your presenting concerns. Therapy is aimed at providing a safe, confidential and non-judgmental space where you can share your experiences, be heard and explore possible solutions to some of the difficulties you may face. Adult life is filled with stresses and pressures which often feed into a cycle of feelings, thoughts and behaviours which can generally be traced back to our primary relationships. When we come to understand such cycles and their roots, we are able to gain acceptance and insight, and ultimately, create change. As a licensed psychologist, Dan is able to bring evidence based techniques and tools in order to tailor treatment to the unique challenges of each client.

 

The length of therapy will differ for each person and, over time, you will come to have a unique relationship with Dan. The therapy that Dan offers aims at developing an understanding of one’s self so as to create deep and enduring changes in one’s life. Therapy is driven at times by you and at others by Dan in an attempt to gain insight, awareness and acceptance. However, we are complex beings and therapy differs, based on the needs of each person. Dan will work in collaboration with you in an attempt to maximise your wellbeing by creating a space where you feel you are genuinly heard, whilst providing you with support in making the changes you hope to see. Dan believes that the primary road to healing and growth occurs through the relationship that develops between a person and their therapist.
