Dr. Daniela Bloom

Dr. Daniela Bloom

DPsych, Regent's College London (accredited by University of Wales)
Years in practice: 14
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I am a chartered Counselling Psychologist and EMDR therapist, registered with HCPC and accredited by the British Psychological Society. In my therapeutic practice I work predominantly with issues around relationships, intimacy, anxiety, depression, loneliness and isolation, self-esteem, body image and eating disorders, gender identity, and a more general unease around existence.

My therapeutic approach is existentially/phenomenologically based, meaning that in therapy, we will focus on your unique, personal experience and how you have come to find yourself where you are, and then examine the possibility that you are in a constant process of becoming, ever-changing, but always in relation.

Diploma in Counselling Teenagers, Institute for the Arts in Therapy and Education
Years in practice: 5
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Are you feeling overwhelmed, isolated, or like you’re just going through the motions? Battling depression, anxiety, or the weight of past trauma? Many men struggle in silence, but you don’t have to. Reaching out takes real courage – and you’ve already shown that by being here.

I’m Jeff, a psychotherapeutic counsellor and coach who specialises in men’s mental health. As a male counsellor, I get it – I understand the pressure to “man up,” the difficulty of opening up, and how hard it can be to ask for support. I work with men of all ages: young adults navigating life transitions, dads struggling to connect with their teenagers, and men processing relationship challenges, work stress, or past trauma.

My trauma-informed approach combines emotional healing with practical strategies. We’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck while building real tools for managing emotions, improving communication, and showing up as the man you want to be. You deserve genuine understanding and lasting change.

I have been working as an integrative therapist for over 10 years and tailor my way of working to meet your needs. I offer both face-to-face and online therapy.

Are you struggling with life and having difficulty finding hope for your future? Do you feel down or angry, struggling to find joy and fulfilment in life? In therapy we work together to identify the causes and find solutions. Are you tired of repeating self-destructive behaviours? Do you feel stuck and unable to move on? Unhealthy habits can develop that lead to us feeling trapped. I create a safe, non-judgmental space in which you are able to identify your problems and find ways to change.
