What I do:
I offer Walking Therapy, Face-to-Face and Online Therapy from my private practice in beautiful Chesham Buckinghamshire.
I also offer Clinical supervision and Reflective Practice for therapy and other professionals. (Please navigate to the What I Do section for more Supervision info)
Walking Therapy sessions in an outdoor environment combine the beneficial nature of physical movement, respectful dialogue and a non-judgmental relationship to empower clients awareness.
Move forward to connect with yourself through nature and gain better understanding of your relationships. Free yourself from unhealthy patterns, release stress, build confidence and self-esteem as we walk, talk and work together in the open.
As life presents us with challenges it can be easy to become stuck in certain habits, destructive patterns of thinking and sustain unrealistic expectations of ourselves and others. The supported inquiry offered by walking and talking encourages insight, perspective and the space for growth towards sustainable change.
About Me:
I have a background in Fine Art and work as an artist as well as a therapist.
My appreciation for creativity in all its forms, has formed a foundation in his client work that can enhance and expedite an individuals personal growth. Dan offers Walking Therapy sessions and also works as a Creative Psychotherapist. He is a registered member of the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy.
In 2015 I took the time to journey across Spain, walking the Camino de Santiago. This became the inspiration for Walk It Out. Initially a hiking trip, the Camino quickly became a place for deeper personal inquiry and reflection. Through this I recognized the beneficial connection between physical movement and personal growth, a connection I wishes to share with his clients.
In Walking Therapy sessions, I use experience to build strong working relationships with my clients. This safe and judgement free space enables the exploration of any issues that may arise, and supports the client to choose the path of the investigation. This in turn empowers the individual to apply change in themselves resulting in sustainable outcomes.

Testimonials:
“So grateful to of found Daniel on this platform! He’s very professional and has the ability to understand me very quickly, this helps our journey.”
"Daniel has been great, he's calm and understanding, and no matter how long it takes me or how confusing I can feel my thoughts are. He always takes the time to work on these and bring the focus back to me, my goals and my desires.”
"...Staring at the same painting on the office wall every session seemed to be an obstacle for me... Then there was Dan offering the chance to listen and talk whilst having a walk together outside, this seemed to fit me much better. Dan can reflect the matter of what bothers you in a way that opens up new perspectives."
