Daniel Bains
Person-centred/humanistic counsellorAbout Me
Therapy doesn't have to be just at a crisis point. (Although it can help there too). It can be for self-improvement, mental maintenance, and a space to make positive changes.
Think of therapy as a tool- supporting you to maintain good mental health, find balance, build healthy relationships, and thrive in life to reach your potential.
-----
I provide a welcoming, safe and confidential space to explore all that you wish to bring.
Initially, we'll start to unpack what has brought you to therapy, what you wish to be different and understand what barriers are in the way.
Together we'll work on making changes to overcome these barriers.
Finding a life that feels more connected, authentic and balanced.
It’s important you have a space to speak openly and honestly about what is troubling you.
Whilst having a compassionate and trained professional to support you in finding a way forward.
Therapy involves:
- Learning to manage anxiety.
- Healing inner conflicts and tension.
- Providing tools to build self-esteem.
- Learning to challenge self-critical thoughts.
- Processing past experiences.
- Discovering how to set boundaries.
- Improving the relationship with yourself.
- Building healthy relationships with others.
- Increasing self-awareness.
- Finding ways to make positive changes.
Why I do what I do:
I believe in creating a space for people to feel truly heard, listened to, and accepted for who they are.
It's important we build trust and work at a comfortable pace.
Whilst I also provide a sense of challenge, aiming you toward personal growth.
I see it as a great privilege to walk alongside you:
- Supporting you in building healthy relationships.
- Providing insight that is helpful and hopeful.
- Guiding you to rediscover a sense of balance.
- Providing practical tools to help you cope.
- Helping you to achieve your own personal goals in life.
- Finding ways to improve self-esteem and confidence.
I hold hope that positive change is possible. Whilst remaining active, engaged and creative in helping you where you feel stuck.
Taking the first step:
I fully understand and respect the decision to enter therapy can be a challenging one.

I do however wish to say, that I embrace the opportunity to walk alongside you.
