Herts Therapy - Hertford

Dan’s approach was warm, friendly and he took time to understand the issues in hand, which took various unforeseen turns on our journey, and also to go back of past life experiences to work with the difficulties I faced. Dan helped me enormously to work through the very upsetting and stressful situation I was experiencing. Over what was the most difficult 9 months of my life,, working with Dan, I overcame my fear led thought processes, and broke down my feelings of anger to a clearer mindset. He also helped with the residual PTSD I had, I cannot thank Dan enough for his help. My friends comment on how I’ve handled my situation in such a level headed way, I do tell them I had a very good counsellor! Thank you Dan.

Wish I could give more stars here.

Therapy used to be a daunting idea for me, but from the moment I met Dan in our initial session, my fears dissolved. Dan’s warm demeanor and empathy created a safe space where I could truly open up. Leaving each session felt like stepping out of a protective bubble, armed with new coping tools.

Navigating OCD, anxiety, and depression with Dan was transformative. He expertly managed my expectations and guided me towards realistic goals, fostering a sense of progress with every session.

Over time, therapy became a sanctuary. Dan’s unwavering perseverance, patience, and genuine kindness allowed me to confront my darkest moments and finally seek the help I needed.

I emerged from our sessions a changed person, thanks to Dan’s support and expertise. His attentive listening, respect, and ability to create a comfortable environment while imparting valuable knowledge on OCD were invaluable. Each session felt like a thoughtful parcel of reflection and guidance, leaving me feeling more secure.

Dan’s cultural sensitivity and proactive approach in understanding my background enhanced my therapeutic journey. His thoughtful consideration and tailored support made me feel guided and secure.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dan as a therapist. His impact on my life has been profound, and I continue to advocate for seeking support when needed. If given the chance, I would embark on this journey with Dan again without hesitation. Dan is extremely passionate in his work and it really does have a positive impact in other people’s lives.

Thank you, Dan, for your exceptional work and unwavering support.

I reached out to Daniel in the middle of November 2023, struggling a lot with anxiety, overthinking, low self esteem and guilt. After a few sessions I already started to feel a big difference in the way I react to daily situations, the way I feel, the way I treat myself and manage my emotions. Daniel’s approach is incredibly kind, professional and understanding. I’ve worked with many therapists throughout my life and never before have I felt that my worries are approached in such a helpful and practical way - at each session with Daniel I discover a new way of thinking and learn a new approach to daily situations. Daniel knows exactly what questions to ask to help me see things from a different perspective, and how to approach issues I’m struggling with. I am so lucky to have found Daniel and Herts Therapy and would highly recommend.

Would recommend to anyone I know struggling with OCD. Dan is extremely patient and very clear in setting out his plans and the ways to get better. He gives you an amazing understanding of OCD as-well helping you recover from it. I was washing my hands obsessively up to 50 times a day before I started seeing Dan, I now no longer wash my hands in a compulsive way at all.

Working with Dan has been extremely progressive. Dan takes the time to work almost as part of a team with you and your partner, understanding each persons wants and needs, and then over time is able to support communication within the relationship, gradually taking a step away as you both gain confidence. The whole experience isn’t overwhelming (something I was nervous about in the beginning) and very much goes at the pace necessary for the couple. Thanks again Dan!

When I first started my therapy journey I wasn't sure what was worng, I just knew that my behaviours were unhelpful and affecting my daily life. Within the first session, Dan made me feel very comfortable and explained my symptoms to be that of OCD. From that moment, Dan was so patient with me, outlined a boundaried approach and provided all the tools and management strategies needed for me to progress forward and keep symptoms under control. I am forever grateful for all of the help and would highly recommend Herts Therapy!

Working with Dan has helped me to identify and deal with triggers that cause my CFS, helping me to carry our regular daily activities that I was unable to do before starting my sessions. Dan has taught me how to manage my condition, reduce the symptoms and significantly improve my physical and mental health. Cannot thank him enough!

Been a couple years so slightly late writing a review but would definitely recommend to anyone struggling with OCD. Dan is an absolute legend and is really patient and understanding, also tries to find techniques that work for you instead of generic stuff etc. Whenever I find myself going back into old thinking patterns the stuff I learnt here still helps me now 🙂
