About me

Hey my name is Dan and I’m an experienced person centred counsellor. Our counselling  sessions will focus on you and your needs. I am based in Sleaford although I can travel to Lincoln and surrounding areas. 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 where I specialise In addiction and trauma.  I have worked with clients with many struggles and concerns. I also have experience working with survivors of sexual abuse at Trust House in Grantham, I was part of the Amy Winehouse Foundation working in schools with young people holding workshops on the resilience program. I have worked with people at Lincoln Trauma centre. Having worked with all different types of clients that include PTSD, CPTSD, addiction, depression, anxiety, social anxiety, stress, relationships and work issues plus many more traumatic life experiences.

I understand it can be difficult to have a healthy and satisfying life. My aim is to help guide you through your problems in the hope you can develop ways to feel more fulfilled, accepting of trauma and lastly, content in your life.

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.
