Hi, I'm Damian. I am registered and licensed in the UK with 7 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, and anger management.
I trained in Regent's University London and graduated with MSc in Psychotherapy and Counselling Psychology. I have experience working in some GP surgeries (NHS) and some counselling organisations in the UK. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioural and person- centred approaches. I'm a registered member of British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) in the UK.
I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process in a non-judgemental way.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Great listener and already asked me some very challenging questions about myself thay I’ve not previously thought about
Humble, supportive and caring human being. Wonderful therapist!
Damian managed to surface and give directions upon problems of mine in just 3 sessions, that niether of my previous therapist did. He is kind hearted, a good listener and has a very practical way of seeing things, thus was able to make me feel welcome, safe and managed to direct me towards goals of improving and understanding myself. This is my first time on Better Help and I am very happy and content with my match. I would recommend Damian with all my heart!
