He describes his style as respectful and compassionate, and avoids a one-size-fits-all approach.

He provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging so people can pick what fits their routine.
Costs vary by location and are charged through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a person uses the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and schedules according to therapist availability.
How therapy approaches are used online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them and then choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and for living with long-term mood challenges. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses structured exercises to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, depression and panic symptoms. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s perspective at the centre of the work and relies on empathetic listening to help people find their own solutions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Dan will discuss options in early sessions and adjust methods to match the client’s goals, preferences and everyday routine. This is a collaborative process where practical steps are agreed together.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and shared exercises, phone sessions can fit short check-ins or lower bandwidth needs, and text or chat can help people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
