About me
Hi, my name is Dan and I'm a fully qualified counsellor and psychotherapist.
My approach is integrative, which means that I am trained in a number of different counselling and psychological theories and draw upon these to help each client in a way that best suits that person’s needs.
I believe in a person centred, compassionate approach to therapy in which the client sets their agenda, elaborates and focuses on whatever they feel is most pressing to them in the present moment. I believe counselling is an organic process that fulfils a basic human need for a meaningful and genuine connection, and at the same time is also a completely private and personal experience.
Choosing a counsellor is a big step which can feel daunting. How do you find the therapist who will be right for you? If you are new to counselling, the various theoretical approaches listed by therapists can be confusing. Current research shows that the therapeutic relationship (the relationship between you and me) is ultimately more important than any specific theoretical approach and this is the cornerstone of my work.
Training, qualifications & experience
I am a fully qualified integrative Counsellor/Psychotherapist and Registered Member of the BACP with a practice in South West London.
I have worked in the NHS for many years in mental the health sector, where I trained in Art and Music Therapy. It was at this time that I became interested in talking therapies and I have studied, practiced and taught meditation techniques and mindfulness for a number of years and at times integrate these into the therapeutic process.
Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred).
Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision.
Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training.
All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
