Daniel Bains

It can be hard to name what鈥檚 going on.

Maybe you鈥檙e feeling overwhelmed, lost, or like something inside you just doesn鈥檛 feel right anymore.

Maybe you've been carrying things for a while - self-doubt, anxiety, old wounds - without a clear way forward.

You might be wondering: 鈥淲hy do I feel like this? Will I always feel stuck?鈥�

If any of that sounds familiar - you鈥檙e not alone.

And you don鈥檛 have to figure it out by yourself.

-

I offer therapy that鈥檚 grounded, relational, and real.

A space where you don鈥檛 have to perform, explain everything, or be 鈥渙n.鈥�

Just somewhere you can be met as you are - gently, honestly, and at your pace.

-

How I Work

-

I鈥檓 here to walk with you - as we explore what鈥檚 feeling stuck and what鈥檚 calling for change.

What I bring is presence, steadiness, and the willingness to sit with you - fully.

Therapy with me is collaborative. We explore what feels stuck, what hurts, and what鈥檚 asking to shift.

I鈥檒l bring reflection, patience, and - when helpful - practical resources to support you:

• Breath awareness
• Grounding practices
• Mindfulness and self-compassion
• Tools that help you feel more anchored and supported between sessions

There鈥檚 no agenda or pressure - just a shared space where you can begin reconnecting with what feels most true for you.

-

Who I Work With

-

I often support people who are:

• Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or burnt out
• Stuck in patterns of overthinking or self-criticism
• Carrying the impact of childhood trauma or difficult relationships
• Struggling with identity, purpose, or low self-worth
• From South Asian or culturally complex backgrounds, wanting to feel understood without having to explain everything

-

What Therapy Might Involve

-

Every client brings something different, but these are some of the themes we may explore:

-

Emotional & Cognitive Work

• Unpacking self-judgement with compassion
• Exploring and loosening limiting beliefs
• Understanding how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected
• Developing deeper awareness and mindfulness

-

Embodied & Relational Work

• Learning to feel safely and more fully in your body
• Learning to trust your body鈥檚 natural wisdom
• Making sense of attachment patterns and how they impact your relationships
• Letting go of protective patterns that now keep you stuck

-

Integration & Change

• Developing inner resources and tools to support you through difficult moments
• Making sense of how the past shows up in the present
• Discovering new ways of being that feel more aligned and honest

All of this happens within a supportive relationship - one where you can be real, bring your messiness, and be met with care.

Next Steps:

You don鈥檛 need to have it all figured out before reaching out.
