he/him
Hello, my name is Declan, and I’m a qualified integrative counsellor with a passion for helping people in times of difficulty and distress.
I have worked with individuals experiencing loss, anxiety, depression, challenging relationships and social issues. I strive to create an environment where you feel truly heard and understood whilst establishing a safe and caring professional relationship built upon empathy, trust and mutual respect.
I operate in a predominantly Person-Centred way, whilst drawing from CBT and collaborative Pluralistic practices. This allows us to work in tandem, towards your goals, whilst promoting positive change, introspection and personal growth.
I am someone who has struggled with feelings of low self-esteem, and I have found that effective therapy can often be the first step towards appreciating you for you.
I fundamentally believe that we are all valuable, unique and worthy of celebration. This includes accepting and celebrating ourselves.

Personal Touch
In my spare time, I enjoy reading, playing basketball, swimming and writing.
Professionally I draw inspiration from influential figures like Carl Rogers and Mick Cooper, whose work has shaped my approach to counselling.

Client Focus
I tend to work best with clients who want to move forward from their presenting issues but cannot see the path. It has been an honour and a privilege to see client's come to the end of counselling with a much clearer sense of themselves, their abilities, their own progress and the direction they are heading in.
