Daniel Palmer

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.

some of my client reviews 

“Really great therapist helped a lot even after 3-4 sessions highly recommend”

“Dan is easy to talk to and a great listener. His understanding of addiction/family issues has been particularly useful. Our sessions have been very helpful for me as a place to vent and get a sensible perspective on things.”

“Daniel was a great active listener, he provided a judgement free zone and very compassionate. He gave practical advice and tricks for everyday life.”

“Really good listener and helpful advice”

“Brilliant therapist who listens attentively and guides well”

My fees are £40 for  a 50 minute session, initial assessment can be done over the phone for free these will take roughly 5-15 minutes, within this time you will be able to discuss your problem and I will talk you through the counselling process. Hopefully this will put you at ease of what will happen. Once this is done you can decide if you want to continue with the counselling sessions with me and we can then book in a session. I understand there is a lot of choice out there to pick from, I guess the most important thing is you find a counsellor that you will feel comfortable working with, so we can see if we are the right fit when we have the assessment. Due to the current financial situation I can offer shorter sessions and a cheaper price this can be discussed when you make contact with me. 

I offer sessions face to face, over the phone and online. Online sessions can be from anywhere.
I am member of the BACP and I work by the ethical framework that they have produced. I will continue with learning several CPD courses covering all areas of counselling.

I undertake supervision once a month in-line with BACP ethical framework
