Hi, I'm Daniel.

I'm a qualified person-centred counsellor, but there's a bit more to me than just my qualifications.

My own life experiences have played a big part in who I am today and why I decided to become a counsellor.

Having experienced addiction and recovery, alongside being diagnosed with ADHD later in life, I've had my own challenges to work through and things to understand about myself.

Counselling has helped me massively in my own life. Through my own experience of being a client, I've come to understand just how important it is to feel genuinely heard, understood and accepted without judgement.

I know what a difference it can make to have someone really listen to you, particularly when you're struggling to make sense of things yourself.

That's something I bring into my own work as a counsellor.

I believe the relationship we build together is one of the most important parts of counselling. For me, it's not about telling you what to do or giving you all the answers. It's about taking the time to understand you, your experiences and what's going on in your life.

I also understand that reaching out for counselling isn't always easy. You might feel nervous, unsure what to say or even question whether counselling is right for you. That's completely okay.

My aim is to offer you somewhere you can be yourself, talk openly and feel listened to, without having to put on a front or pretend everything is fine.

I don't believe there's one approach that works for everyone, and I recognise that we all have different experiences, challenges and ways of making sense of the world.

Above all, I want you to feel that you're talking to another human being who genuinely wants to understand you.
