About me

Hey my name is Dan and I’m an experienced integrative counsellor, this means I use different techniques from different therapies.  I understand how difficult it can be for you when you’re struggling with mental health conditions and many other types of problems that cause life to be difficult. My aim is to help guide you through your problems in the hope you can develop ways to feel more fulfilled and content in your life.

Our counselling sessions will focus on you and your needs. I am based in Sleaford although, I offer sessions online, over phone and face to face so, if you need someone to talk to this is still possible if you’re not comfortable with face to face.
Sometimes life can be difficult and you may not know what to do. You may be feeling sad and you have no one to talk to or you are not comfortable talking to friends and family. You may prefer to come and talk to someone who can offer you an empathetic and non-judgmental environment for you to discuss your problems and experiences in life.

My experience lies in my own private practice which I have had for 5 years where I have worked with 100’s of clients. I also have experience working with survivors of sexual abuse at Trust House in Grantham, and working with clients  at Lincoln trauma centre.

I specialise In addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression low self esteem and working with clients with autism and ADHD.
I understand it can feel daunting in taking this first step as it is sometimes difficult to reach out but, I hope you can as I will do my very best to make you feel safe and comfortable as we go through your journey together.
