Dan Henley - HYPNOTHERAPIST

Having an academic background in psychology, I have always been fascinated by the way the mind works. It was my own positive experience of therapy some eleven years ago that really inspired me to want to do this work. It was transformational and I knew that I wanted to make it my vocation, so I decided to train as a hypnotherapist. I went on to become a licenced Neuro-Linguistic Programming and Mnemodynamic Therapy ptactitioner and have now been in private practice for over eight years. Every day I get up excited and motivated to see the positive changes my clients make. 

My other life-long passion has been spirituality, especially the study of the paranormal, past lives, near death phenomena and mediumship. 

It became apparent to me that the concepts of the power of the mind to heal, and the nature of the mind as arguably being more than just something produced by our physical brains, overlapped. My two passions were united.

It has been such a privilege to meet a true 'soul-mate', in Lucy. Lucy and I share a great deal in terms of our outlooks. The things that are obvious to me about the nature of the mind and the nature of our reality are just as obvious to her. 

Integratus was always inevitable. Perhaps, even pre-destined!

In 2013 and 2014 over the span of 10 months, my 4 year old niece passed away from a brain tumour, my dad passed suddenly at the age of 62 and I had 2 miscarriages. 

At the time I was a single mum to a special needs child and running my own small business as a personal trainer. I also competed in body building and loved what I did. I felt helping people to feel better in their own skin gave me great job satisfaction. As most personal trainers will tell you, a lot of the job is listening to what is going on for your clients in their personal lives and figuring out why they are over eating or lack motivation to exercise. This is what would lead me to do what I love most. 

I took some time off after my dad passed and realised I wanted to help people on a deeper level. This is when I began my training to become a psychotherapist. I qualified in 2017, set up my private practice and have since specialised in bereavement, neurodivergence, the mother wound, narcissism and women’s health. 

I believe that every experience in life is valuable and without mine, I wouldn’t be able to do the work that I love so much and walk alongside my clients in their most difficult times. It is truly an honour to be able to be a part of some of the biggest and most challenging times in people’s lives and know that just being there to offer a safe space can make a huge difference.
