Daniel Bains

Find a space where you can just be, as you are.

No need to perform.

No need to mask.

No need to hide.

In our work together:

What is felt can be seen.

What needs to be processed can be held.

What feels stuck can begin to make sense.

-

I offer a supportive, authentic, and down-to-earth space where there is room to slow things down and be real - with yourself, and with someone willing to meet you there.

I tend to work best with people who:

• Feel the weight of early experiences or unresolved wounds from childhood.
• Find relationships difficult or confusing.
• Get caught in people-pleasing, overthinking, or never feeling “enough.”
• Struggle to recognise who they are anymore- feeling disconnected from their own voice.
• Feel stuck in loops of self-sabotage.
• Are seeking personal development and deeper self-awareness.

What You Can Expect

With me, you’ll find someone who genuinely cares- someone committed to ongoing reflection, learning, and development as a therapist and as a person.

We’ll work in a way that’s collaborative and human.

Step by step, we’ll process what’s hurting, understand where you get stuck, and find a way forward that feels right for you.

This isn’t about quick fixes.

It’s about a real relationship- one where you can be vulnerable, be met in that vulnerability, and be held while you find your ground again.

A Final Word:

Real change begins when we stop trying to be who we think we should be, and start finding our way back to who we are.

The first session is a chance to slow things down, understand what’s bringing you here, and see whether working together feels right.

I’m a BACP Accredited counsellor and have continued to deepen my work with training in trauma-informed and somatic approaches- because I believe therapy isn’t just about talking, it’s about involving the whole self.

-

My Approach

I work in a way that’s relational and integrative- meaning I adapt our sessions to fit you, not the other way around. Real change happens through connection: to yourself, your body, and your truth.

That might mean talking things through, slowing down to notice what’s happening in the moment, or exploring how your past still stirs in the present.

I often work with anxiety, trauma, self-doubt, and relationship struggles.

My roots are in Gestalt therapy, but I also draw on:

• Person-Centred therapy
• Mindfulness and somatic practices
• CBT for practical tools when they’re useful
• Eastern philosophy, if it resonates with you

There’s no one-size-fits-all. We’ll work in a way that feels safe and right for you- at your pace.

-

Confidentiality

What you share stays between us, unless there’s a serious risk to you or someone else and I’ll always aim to talk that through with you first.

I also take my work to supervision to ensure you receive the best possible support. Your identity remains fully protected.
