Daniel Wheeler

Life isn’t always easy and some things can be difficult to talk about, even to our closest friends and family. Perhaps you’re not sure how you feel or struggle to find the words when trying to describe your inner world to another.

Whether you are struggling with how you feel, with what you think, or behaviours you wish to change, talking therapy can help you.

Struggling with emotions, thoughts or behaviours are common experiences for everyone, but understanding and working to overcome them doesn’t always come so easily.

Based in the heart of Guildford Town Centre, I offer face-to-face talking therapy in a warm and non-judgemental environment.

I only work with adults - 18yrs+.

Training:

I completed 5 years of education and training before qualifying to practice. This included;

• Introduction to Psychology Course

• Level 2 Introduction to Counselling Skills

• Level 3 Counselling Skills and Theory

• BA (Hons) Integrative Relational Counselling

My training had two main points of focus;

• Integrative

• Relational

Integrative means I use knowledge and techniques that have consistent aims across the different schools of psychotherapeutic thought and are backed by research literature, as opposed to strictly adhering to one theoretical orientation.

Relational means an acknowledgement of, and working with, the relationship that will exist between us as not only client to therapist, but also, human to human. You, your experience, and your relationships will be the primary focus, but we shall be in it together.

CPD (continuing professional development) is a part of my ongoing practice. This means I will continue to keep developing and updating my knowledge and skills as the profession progresses.

As a practicing member of the Â鶹ԭ´´, I adhere to their Ethical Framework. This means I will conduct myself in a manner that is appropriate and suitable while working with clients and always hold your best interests at the forefront of our work. My practice is fully insured.

Please reach out and we can arrange a short introductory phone call. During this call I’ll ask a few general questions about your situation, so try to find somewhere you’ll feel comfortable to talk openly.

If you’re happy to continue we’ll arrange a time to meet for our first session.

I do have a certain number of slots at a concessionary rate, let me know if you feel you need help with the affordability of the sessions.

To build our therapeutic relationship we will meet at the same time on a weekly basis. If you have a specific goal or are conscious of your budget, setting a number of sessions can help focus the work. To give an example 12 sessions contracts are often offered within NHS settings.

Short term may be agreeing to work together for 6 months to a year, with long term leaving the timeframe open and working toward an ending when you’re ready.

Should you need to cancel or skip a session I would ask for 48hrs notice. If a session is booked but not attended, the session would still be charged.
