"Hello, my names Dan and I am a certified counsellor & psychotherapist. I have worked for the last 15 years to bring  professional mental health support to those in need online and in person.

 

But what does that mean ? 

 

Well, it means that I support and help find answers to issues  such as low self worth, loss and bereavement, addiction, anxiety, sexual issues and more.   Supporting people in that time  I have realised that even  the most well adjusted individuals may need support in their lives that they cannot get from friends, family or partners. Statistically a small percentage of us seek that help, sometimes ignoring serious  Issues  that can then lead to finding new ways to cope that can damage themselves or others around them. Who hasn't met  someone in life that has an issue that they clearly have never talked to anyone about professionally that changed their life. Why are we so willing to go to the gym and pay to shape our bodies but so disconnected to talking about our mental health issues?

 

Maybe its because, Inevitably when someone does seek  support they are usually met with long wait times, overworked staff using the NHS or high costs if they go private. Mental health support can be so confusing. For example, online mental health apps  have sky rocketed in subscriptions in recent years and yet we also hear about dissatisfaction and frustration at not feeling fulfilled by them. In the last 5 years we have had disease and war and social change on a scale rarely seen and yet we push on. Trying to hold onto anything stable we can find. Mental health needs have increased at a staggering rate in the last 10 years but has the stigma of mental health become more acceptable? Has accessibility and costs changed to help us?

​

If your here to find answers or just here because your curious, welcome. Because of all you have read above I offer low cost, open ended professional therapy online or in person (if you live in Lancashire). It is a pleasure to meet anyone that values and takes responsibility for their mental health and I look forward to talking to you. At the bottom of the site is a contact form, say hello and book your free 50 minute session today and see if I am the right therapist for you?"
