About me
Sometimes life reaches a point where it feels difficult to keep carrying things in the same way. You might feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from yourself, or stuck in patterns that no longer feel helpful.
I’m Danny, a person-centred counsellor offering therapy in East Kilbride, Glasgow City Centre and online. I aim to offer a space that feels warm, grounded and genuinely human. Many of the people I work with tell me previous counselling felt too clinical, too formal, or that they struggled to build a real connection with the therapist.
How I Work
I work particularly well with neurodivergent clients, including people with ADHD, and with people trying to make sense of trauma, shame, self-esteem difficulties or emotional overwhelm. As someone diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood myself, I also understand some of the frustration and self-criticism that can come with feeling misunderstood.
My core approach is person-centred, though I work integratively and may bring in ideas or tools from approaches such as CBT, compassion-focused therapy and transactional analysis where useful. I try to adapt therapy to the individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
I try to offer a space that feels calm, genuine and easy to talk in. Therapy with me can involve honesty, humour and gentle challenge alongside compassion and support.
Client Feedback
“Danny was great and I felt like I could tell him everything and anything.”
“My counselling sessions felt like a safe environment where I was able to express my feelings out loud, something that doesn’t come easy to me.”
“I was finally listened to without being judged, invalidated or told I was wrong.”
“Having been to counselling before I thought I knew what to expect but Danny went way beyond my expectations.”
Sessions
I offer face-to-face counselling, online sessions and walk-and-talk therapy.

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.
