Daniel Hand

Hello, and welcome to Monomyth Counselling. My name is Daniel Hand, and I am an Integrative (Person-Centred mixed with Psychodynamic) counsellor, who offers two 'styles' of session: RPG Therapy, which uses storytelling (and dice!) to help predominately younger clients explore their inner worlds; and more traditional one-on-one counselling, which offers you the opportunity to explore your difficulties in detail and so learn to face life differently.

I like to take a gentle approach with clients, helping them to feel safe and making sure they don't become overwhelmed by their emotions. I have worked extensively with people who have experienced intense trauma such as rape or domestic abuse; individuals who have endured substance addiction; and those who suffer from various life-affecting health conditions (for example, epilepsy and chronic pain). I also have experience working with children and young adults, as well as those older clients who remain haunted by childhood experiences (such as bereavement, abuse or a breakdown in their parents' relationship).

RPG Therapy is fun, interactive and immersive, and lets clients experience their own Hero's Journey, their own monomyth, from the safety of the counselling environment. There's no danger, but they can explore how they might react to danger; they can face tough emotions without needing to feel them in the moment; they can learn to accept themselves by accepting their creations.

Feel free to have a look around my website, and have a listen to my podcast if you want to get used to my voice before getting in touch (just so you have an idea of who's going to answer the phone). If you find anything that interests you, please do get in touch via the Contact page.

It would be a privilege to work with you.

I am currently only able to offer online/telephone counselling.

I usually operate out of premises in Reading, Berkshire; thanks to covid, however, I am currently only able to offer online/telephone counselling.  Hopefully we will be able to get back to face-to-face before too long.

Depending on timings, I am also able to offer online counselling to international clients.
