CLINICAL APPROACH

Daniel takes a careful and considered approach to clinical work. Sessions are not rushed. Assessment is thorough. Recommendations are grounded in a rigorous reading of the evidence and a genuine understanding of the client's circumstances.

He works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, occupational stress, grief and adjustment to complex legal and compensation circumstances.

Daybreak Psychology is not a high-volume practice. Daniel works with a limited number of clients at any one time, so that each person receives the attention their situation deserves.
