Daniel Dias

Are you struggling with anxiety, loss, bereavement, your general mental health, or relationship issues?

Are you looking to make a long lasting change? For new ways of thinking, new tools and understanding?

I admire your courage to seek help in a dark moment. I am here to help with new ways of thinking and insight. You will find me empathic, non-judgemental, and skilled. I pride myself on my ability to build deep, open and trusting client relationships.

My approach to counselling is holistic, experiential, mindful, transpersonal, and reflective. Exploring the present moment against the backdrop and influence of the past, our shadow side, and the control of our subconscious.

As a man in his 60's who has at times had his own struggles with mental health, I understand and can empathise with the reluctance to seek help. Men are often conditioned as young boys to be strong, that weakness is a failure. I have learnt that the real courage is in our vulnerability.

I experienced working with all genders. At the heart of my way of working is compassion, non-judgement, honesty, and candour. I pride myself on my ability to build and maintain deep, empathic, open, authentic, reliable and trusting relationships with my clients.

I offer solution focused counselling, therapy, and coaching. What that means in plain English is that counselling with me is focused and tailored for achieving your desired change.

I understand, respect and empathise with the courage it takes to seek help in our darkest moments. How vulnerable and down you may be feeling, if perhaps you are extremely anxious, feel lost, misunderstood, invisible, unheard, betrayed, or desperate. The pain of loss for something, some part of ourselves, or someone you so cherished and held so deeply in your heart.

As a qualified therapeutic counsellor, trained couples and relationship therapist, and mindfulness teacher my specialist areas of interest are the present moment, innovative tools for symptom reduction, long term effective and easy to implement solutions.

My areas of expertise are anxiety, loss, bereavement, grief, men's mental health, and couples and relationships.

My approach to counselling draws on many different aspects of theory and experience. I offer new ways of thinking, strategies, and reflections on how to calm anxiety, heal from loss, make a long lasting change, resolve conflicts, repair ruptures, recapture intimacy, revitalise the erotic, and build a compelling future.

​You will find me empathic to your problems, trustworthy, fair, and candid. I value each client as a unique person and I look forward to meeting and working with you.
