getting the support you deserve.
daniel bains.
therapist, founder & creator.
I'm passionate about mental health because I’ve lived through the process myself.
I entered therapy over ten years ago, and gaining insight and awareness truly opened my eyes. It allowed me to take my power back, to regain a sense of control and begin making the changes I needed to.
It took work then, and it still takes work now. But I’m glad.
Therapy taught me that change is possible. That feeling stuck doesn’t mean you are stuck- you might just need to find another way.
That process helped me rediscover my courage, my authenticity, my vulnerability, and a depth in relationship I hadn’t known was possible.
And for that, I’ll always be grateful.
the process.
reflect, relate & realign.
Our work together is a collaboration, rooted in relationship.
By paying attention to how we’re relating here in the therapy space, we can begin to understand how you relate out there- in friendships, in love, in conflict, in the places where you often feel unseen or unsure.
This space can hold both the weight of the past and the worries of the future. But more than that, it offers the chance to come into deeper presence.
To uncover what it means to live from your authenticity and to bring that forward into a life that nourishes you, emotionally, physically, and spiritually.
My approach is integrative, drawing from Gestalt, Person-Centred theory, and CBT.
I also have a keen interest in trauma work and am currently deepening my training in Somatic approaches- working with both body and mind to support healing in a more embodied, connected way.
You can book in a free 30 minute call to see if it feels like the right fit. There’s no pressure to make any decisions on the spot. We’ll have a relaxed conversation where you’re welcome to ask any questions, and I may ask a little about what’s bringing you to therapy and how I might be able to support you.
If it feels right for you, you’re welcome to reach out afterwards to arrange your first session.
