About

My background, experience and approach.

I’m Daniel, a British therapist now living in Canada. I’ve been working with clients since 2019, beginning in my local college where I supported staff and students face‑to‑face. That early work exposed me to a wide range of experiences — depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, grief, trauma, abuse and the quieter, long‑term struggles people often carry alone. When the pandemic made in‑person work impossible, I completed additional training through the BACP and Open University to ensure I could work safely and effectively online.

Since then I’ve worked exclusively online with adults and young people based in Europe. Alongside private practice, I’ve supported emergency‑service staff through Stepping Stones, worked with adolescents and young people through JHD Counselling/Stop Breathe Think, and seen clients through BetterHelp. These roles have shaped the steady, straightforward way I work and deepened my understanding of how people cope under pressure, especially when they don’t feel fully understood in their day‑to‑day lives.

Over time I’ve found myself connecting most naturally with LGBTQ+ clients and with people who’ve spent years feeling out of place or trying to fit themselves into environments that didn’t quite fit them back. I also have lived experience of neurodivergence, which informs the calm, conversational style I bring to sessions and helps me support clients navigating overwhelm, burnout, identity questions or the long‑term effects of masking.

My approach integrates person‑centred and psychodynamic ideas, with some CBT where it’s genuinely useful rather than prescriptive. I aim to offer a space that feels grounded and unpressured — somewhere you can talk openly, slow down, and make sense of what’s been going on at a pace that feels manageable.

I’m a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy and continue to uphold the standards required for ongoing membership.
