I’m Daniel. I am a psychotherapist with extensive experience supporting individuals who are looking for a safe, confidential, and comfortable space for deeply personal, therapeutic conversations.
My clients benefit from a safe environment where they can gain a deeper understanding of their relationship to themselves and the world around them. They leave feeling empowered to navigate life with greater ease and self-awareness.
We're primed to believe we have to learn to navigate life's hurdles alone, but talking about our challenges can bring clarity and awareness. I'm not the expert on how you should live your life ...you are ...but having someone truly listen, without judgment or expectation, can bring insight that gets lost in the rush of daily life. Through intentional conversation, we begin to understand ourselves better, and find a sense of relief from sharing the burden.
Talking also allows us to explore thoughts and emotions that may feel overwhelming or too complex to face alone. Having the space to voice what matters, knowing someone is there to hold it with you, can shift our perspective. In that shift, healing begins.
Whether you come with a specific issue, or a sense that something isn’t quite right, our work together will be a collaboration, shaped by your needs and experiences. We’ll take time to explore what feels important to you, allowing the process to unfold organically, while ensuring you feel supported and on-track to understand and meet your objectives.
Despite what self-help books might say, there isn't a one-size-fits-all approach to healing. I draw from different perspectives and methods to meet you where you are, and will always work at your pace. We'll work together to reflect on patterns, emotions, and experiences, always with the aim of helping you navigate life with greater ease and clarity.
Working from my private practices in London, Melbourne, and now Brisbane, I have over five years' experience providing individual talking therapy, grounded in postgraduate qualifications in integrative psychotherapy, counselling, mental health, and Jungian psychology. With an extensive professional background in physics, consulting, academia, and thought leadership, I bring a unique perspective on how different aspects of life intersect.
Working from open-minded, philosophical, and spiritual perspectives, and using various therapeutic techniques, including talking therapy, hypnotherapy, and working in altered states, I connect with people from all walks of life with openness, curiosity, and without judgment. My experience ranges from supporting individuals healing from complex trauma, to helping those seeking clarity on present challenges, to preparing for and integrating psychedelic experiences.
Over the course of our work together, we may explore a wide range of topics depending on your needs and personal journey. Regardless of the area of focus, I offer a supportive environment where we can delve into these areas with care and thoughtfulness. Each of these experiences is deeply personal, and together, we will take the time to understand what is most meaningful to you.
Anxiety and stress often arise when we feel disconnected from ourselves. Gently exploring the source of these feelings can offer relief and help restore a sense of balance.
How we relate to others can mirror how we relate to ourselves. Exploring your relationship patterns can offer valuable insights into your personal connections and help foster more authentic ways of being with others.
Addictive patterns often emerge from a place of deep pain or longing. Reflecting on the root of these behaviours can offer a sense of understanding and pave the way for healing.
Growing up queer in a straight world can deeply influence how we engage with relationships and the world around us. Reflecting on how our sexuality shapes our identity and experiences can offer a sense of clarity and self-acceptance.
Understanding who we are is a lifelong journey. Reflecting on your sense of identity, and how it shifts over time, can bring a deeper awareness of yourself and your place in the world.
Major life changes can bring a mixture of emotions—uncertainty, excitement, fear. Reflecting on these transitions can help ease the emotional impact and support you in finding your way through.
Loss, in all its forms, can bring about a range of emotions. Being present with those feelings can create space for healing, allowing the process of grief to unfold naturally and gently.
Life’s big questions can feel overwhelming—What is my purpose? Why am I here? Exploring these existential concerns can help you find meaning and navigate periods of uncertainty.
Psychedelic experiences can open doors to new perspectives, but they can also leave us with questions. Taking the time to integrate these experiences can help ground the insights and emotions that arise. Note that I do not work with or endorse the use of illegal substances.
Our first 20-minute consultation is free. Regular sessions last 50-minutes and are held in-person in Melbourne or Brisbane, or online. Fees are agreed based on client income, and are payable in advance or in-session by card, cash or bank transfer. Cancellations with less than 24-hours notice will incur the full session fee.
I bring my experience, training, and perspective to offer support for those seeking to reflect, explore, and better understand their relationship with themselves and the world around them. If I believe that your needs would be better met elsewhere, I will seek to refer you to alternative support to best meet your needs.
