Dan is a counsellor and psychotherapist who works with couples, individuals and families, with a particular interest in relationships, attachment and the ways people can become caught in painful patterns with the people who matter most to them.

​

A significant part of Dan's practice is couples counselling. He works with couples experiencing recurring conflict, emotional disconnection, loss of trust, communication difficulties, intimacy concerns, infidelity, major life transitions, parenting pressures, and uncertainty about the future of their relationship.

​

His approach to couples therapy is informed by Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and attachment theory. Rather than simply deciding who is right or wrong in a relationship, Dan helps couples slow down and understand the patterns that develop between them; what happens underneath conflict, withdrawal, defensiveness or pursuit; and supports each partner to communicate their deeper experience in ways that can create greater safety, understanding and connection.

​

Dan also provides individual counselling for adults experiencing anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, identity concerns and periods of feeling stuck or disconnected. His individual work is person-centred, attachment-informed and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on providing a space where clients can explore their experience without judgement or pressure to arrive at a predetermined answer.

​

Dan brings a warm, relational and collaborative style to therapy. He believes meaningful therapeutic work begins with feeling genuinely heard and understood, while also creating enough safety to explore difficult emotions, patterns and experiences at a pace that feels manageable.
