“I am approachable and down to earth; I am a bit of a nerd and enjoy PC/board games. I love exploring what makes us who we are and being mindful of the wounds we all carry and working to bring soothing/healing to these areas.”
With eight years of experience, Dan brings a grounded, approachable presence to his work – supporting clients with compassion, curiosity, and emotional insight. His practice is centred on helping young people and adults navigate life’s challenges with greater self-awareness and resilience.
Dan specialises in:
- Working with youth and young adults
- Supporting the rainbow community
- Autism spectrum support
- Emotion regulation and self-soothing techniques
- Dysfunctional family dynamics and re-parenting
- Attachment wounds and healing interpersonal patterns
Dan is passionate about working alongside people to explore the stories, experiences, and identities that shape who they are. He is affirming and inclusive of all cultures and genders, and has experience working with non-binary and trans clients.
In addition to in-person sessions in Wellington Central, Dan also offers counselling online.
Outside of the therapy space, Dan is a self-professed nerd who enjoys board games, PC gaming, and exploring what makes us human. His warmth, humour, and depth make him a steady and relatable guide for those seeking change and self-discovery.
