It can be daunting attending therapy for the first time and talking about personal issues. Your relationship with your therapist is the most important factor in your success; you need to feel a connection in terms of communication, trust, comfort and safety during your sessions. I therefore offer a complimentary, no-obligation call so we can chat with no expectations or pressure. You do not fit in a pre-made mould and neither should your therapy. As such, I implement a blended therapeutic approach which is client-centered; this means you are in the driver’s seat at all times. I work only with proven, evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).

In my therapy practice, I deeply understand the frustration and confusion that come with phrases like “I am so frustrated! What is going on in my mind?” If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. My commitment is to create a safe, empathetic environment where your thoughts and feelings are not just heard, but deeply understood and validated.

 

Together, we will navigate your inner world, easing the overwhelming thoughts that can feel isolating and confining. In our sessions, whether in-person or online, we will explore your unique challenges in a warm, inviting atmosphere, gently guiding you towards a journey of personal growth and emotional resilience. Your struggles are real, and you matter immensely. If you’re ready to begin this transformative path, reach out to me. Our collaborative work will focus on creating a space where your voice leads the way, where we share the goal of your well-being and inner peace.

My team supports all ages and concerns. Many of us enjoy working with men on ‘what it’s like being a man in this day and age’ stuff, as it’s a different landscape to navigate these days!

As a man, prioritizing your mental health is crucial, and often, it’s overlooked or downplayed. I understand that men face unique challenges and life transitions that require specialized support.

I favour a holistic, integrative approach, tailored to meet your individual needs. Drawing on various modalities including mindfulness, CBT and ACT, we build on your strengths and resilience rather than focusing on pathology or diagnoses. Together, we identify thought and behaviour patterns no longer serving you, helping you to change and heal. I am sensitive to the fact that problems clients bring might have a spiritual dimension and remain open to working with your personal meanings. I enjoy working with clients and consider it a privilege to be able to accompany them on their journeys of self-discovery and healing.

Daniel Prince of Adaptive Mental Health specializes in working with men who want support with emotional regulation, processing and embodiment practices.

Our clients often feel like they can’t control their own actions, or that the brain is simply a witness to their body’s response. Conversely, we work equally with people who struggle to feel anything in their body, like positive emotions, or otherwise can’t get out of their own head and be present and in the moment.

AMH utilize Somatic Embodiment therapy techniques to help men gain control over their emotions, be better able to connect with themselves and their loved ones and more healthily move towards the goals and pursuits they want in life to feel more connected and fulfilled.

Sometimes, the challenges we face can overwhelm our abilities to cope. This can lead us away from our values, sense of self and can make the future look uncertain.

During times of transition and uncertainty, we may require some extra support to help us make sense of the things getting in our way. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with an answer, it is to help you make meaning of your experiences.

I believe each person has their own innate wisdom and my job is to create a safe relational space for them to access it.
