About me
Hi Folks,
My name is Daniel (he/they).
I work with 1-1 clients and couples / multiple partner clients and currently have availability for both.
I am a UKCP accredited, qualified Person Centred Psychotherapist who integrates Buddhist Psychology and felt sense somatics, with over 5000 client hours, working with a variety of clients with a variety of emotional and psychological difficulties.
I am also trained by Metanoia Institute to work with 1-1 clients and CICS (contemporary institute of clinical sexology) in intimate partnered therapy to work with couples and multiple partnered people.
There could be many reasons why you or your partners might be looking for psychotherapy or counselling.
Reasons to seek out therapy are, much like ourselves, varied, nuanced and complex. A deeply empathic, attentive presence and trust for how you process things and what you decide to bring to our sessions, are at the heart of my practice as a therapist.
I am currently offering online and telephone therapy and counselling.
Please feel free to get in touch if you wanted to discuss what working together might look or feel like.
I offer a free 30 minute consultation, where we explore a little bit more about what you'd like from therapy, how we might work together and to answer any questions you might have.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained for 7yrs at The Metanoia Institute, on the Masters for Contemporary Person Centred Psychotherapy and Applications.
I have also trained with CICS (Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology) to work with couples and multiple partnered clients.
During my 7yrs of training I worked with a variety of client populations, including drug and alcohol services, young adults and adolescents at college, in addition to 6yrs with PARCS (Portsmouth Abuse and Rape Counselling Service).
The work I do with clients holds a wide range, addressing all sort of personal, socio-poltical, psychological and spiritual challenges people encounter in their lives, with a particular focus on the psychospiritual, LGBTQ+ clients, complex trauma and domestic abuse, anxiety, relationship difficulties, loss, and sexual and childhood trauma and abuse.
I have a personal meditation practice of 20yrs, assisting and teaching Buddhist meditation retreats and group work in the areas of undoing patriarchy for men and masculine identified people, Queer meditation retreats which trouble normative views of healing and pilgrimages towards the “fix” of ‘the insufficient self’, through a psychospiritual framework for those in LGBTQ+ community.
I also co-lead meditation retreats alongside my colleagues Lama Rod Owens and Dr Sanah Ahsan in multi faith and contemplative traditions of practice.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited

As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
