Hello, I am Dags and I am Phoenix Rising Therapy's MD and currently PRT's sole therapist.
I have in excess of 10 years experience within the therapy/wellbeing sector which followed on from 20 years service within the NHS.
I started my company in February 2022 because I wanted to be able to provide a more tailored form of therapy for my clients than the commercial sector tends to allow.
I am qualified to provide Person Centred Therapy and bring in other therapy techniques such as Solution Focused Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
I am currently studying to become a Certified Outdoor Therapist which is my long term goal - to provide my clients with face to face therapy out in nature; in the sun on a beach, under a forest canopy in the rain, snow angels in the snow or (my favourite) beside water.
I understand that life can be busy and it's not always easy to travel for face to face therapy sessions. That's why I offer online therapy services that allow you to connect with me from the comfort of your own home.
Video or telephone sessions are secure, private and convenient.
Outdoor therapy can be a powerful way to connect with nature in a less clinical setting. These sessions, conducted outdoors in nature, provide a safe and supportive environment where you can share your experiences.
I will guide you through your sessions with the objective being whatever you want out of therapy.
I offer individual counselling services that are tailored to your specific needs.
Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, sadness or grief, I am here to support you through that stress, utilising person centred therapy in conjunction with other techniques including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and solution focused therapy.
If your situation is such that you would like Face-to-Face therapy but you are unable to travel to meet me, then I can very likely come and visit you instead. Depending on where (in the UK) you are, will dictate the fee I will charge.
Your session will last up to 90 minutes, depending on total travel time and your needs/situation.
Please contact me by filling out the contact form and I will be in touch with you to discuss all of the relevant details; I look forward to seeing you soon.
