I’m Danielle, a professionally trained, registered, insured and experienced person-centred integrative psychotherapist. I have worked extensively with adults in private practice, as well as children and young people in schools in Moray and the Highlands.

​

I wish to see you thrive. I love seeing people gain or regain their own personal power to begin to make the changes they need for their own long term well-being.

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the

risk it took to blossom"

Elizabeth Appell

​

My training is in person-centred psychotherapy, compassion focused approaches, and is trauma- informed, practical and grounded. My main theoretical influences are: current neuroscientific understandings of the brain and body; existential therapy; research on nature and its impact on the human; somatic approaches; depth psychology.  My work is founded on the philosophy of  humanistic therapy: safe, trusted relationships are needed to bring about lasting healing, it's the core of who we are and why talk therapy can deeply help.  Nature connection, my creativity and lived understanding of the multi-faceted needs of the human feeds into my practice, as well as daily application of mindfulness. 

​

Perhaps most of all, as a passionate biophile, I appreciate the healing power of the natural world, as it has helped me so much in my own journey. We can no longer ignore the scientifically proven benefits of being in nature for all aspects of our well-being, so I am delighted to be able to combine this with conventional therapy. I also love to offer sessions indoor, online and via phone; especially as we are all different.
