Dan Cohen

I create a safe, warm, non-judgemental space where you can bring your worries, share your thoughts and feelings, and be heard with empathy and compassion. Whatever you are going through, whether it’s anxiety, depression, questions about your relationships or your identity, difficult experiences in your past, or maybe just a general feeling that something isn’t right, you don’t have to deal with it alone.

If you are coming to therapy it is likely you are experiencing something pressing or difficult. My approach aims to support you with whatever you are currently facing, while also making space to explore and understand what’s underlying these experiences. This might include exploring your early life and upbringing, and how early patterns of relating might be subtly repeating with friends and partners. Gaining insight into how you are feeling right now, as well as what has contributed to this from your past experience, can offer you different choices going forward and give you the possibility for genuine and lasting change.

I work in a relational way, meaning I am present as another human being in our sessions, offering warmth and compassion as you navigate whatever waters you currently find yourself in. I won’t prescribe homework, set an agenda, or use worksheets. Instead, I want our work to feel like a collaboration. I’ll invite you to bring whatever feels most present for you and together we will explore how you think and feel about it, and the meaning you make out of it. Working in this way makes space for a deeper kind of work than is possible with more structured approaches.

I am an integrative therapist, which means I draw on a number of different theories and will adjust my approach to what feels right for our work together, creating sessions that are tailored and personal to you.
