about dan
With over two decades of experience in mental health. I have specialist knowledge working with a range of problems. As an EDMR Consultant, I am highly skilled to work with any type of trauma and can support your healing journey.​
I have worked in both NHS and private setting, such as The Retreat, York and been part of developing and supervising new services. My passion to work one-to-one and help them move forward in their lives.​ My interest is working with the body and mind in both traditional psychotherapies and somatic-embodied treatments. Many of my clients have experience work-related trauma/stress or want to move forward from historical trauma but struggle to feel safe, calm or de-tangle the past. ​
I am accredited with the EMDR UK and BABCP, both as a psychotherapist and a supervisor. ​My embodied practices are influence from my shiatsu training using eastern philosophies.

Therapies
EMDR therapy
EMDR is a body therapy that treats trauma, it is in the NICE guidelines as an evidenced-based treatment and has a good outcome and achieves result much quicker than other talking therapies. it is non-invasive and treats PTSD, anxiety, phobias and stress related symptoms.
​
it is used for childhood trauma, assaults, driving-phobias.
talking psychotherapies
This is a great option if you need space to talk about a problem and help to understand it and manage difficult or distressing symptoms. I trained to use CBT and other approaches such as compassionate focus therapy (CFT) to help you develop a way to relieve suffering that you are experiencing.
​
It can be used for depression, anxiety disorders or relational issues.
​
It can help understand what triggers you and how you feel and have control of how you respond.
embodied treatments
the quest to feel calm, safe and connect to ourself and others is often the most difficult challenge for people who have been in therapy and for those who have not.
​
in a world that can is busy and doing, how do we BE STILL.
​
This embodied treatment allows your nervous system to relax, heal and reset.
​
The treatment is done clothed on a futon mattress and uses techniques to help your body feel calm, safe and connect.
