Our Approach
01MEET
Start where life actually is. Clarify what’s happening now, what feels hardest, and what matters most. Set a steady pace and a simple focus for the first step. Create a calm, non-judgemental space so thoughts, feelings and context can be named without pressure.

02UNPACK
Look at what happens before, during, and after the tough moments. Spot the habits and thoughts that keep the cycle going, and the small things that can break it. Turn the mess into a map we can use. We use clear, everyday tools—no jargon, no labels.

CLIENT REVIEWS
A practical approach to counselling for everyday challenges and long-standing negative loops.
Self development specialist
"As a huge fan of the Meta Minds Podcast and over a year of wonderful self development thanks to to their limiting beliefs content. The next step to seeking support through Counselling was blissfully seamless as Dan was a friendly voice and a welcoming relief to what I had avoided for years."

Shannon S
Supported and heard
"I have felt geniunely heard and supported in every session. Dan creates a safe, non-judgmental space. Highly recommend to anyone seeking thoughtful, professional care."

Caroline Perry
Life Changing Sessions!
“Dan is very astute and a great listener.
He has been helping me through a crisis situation in my life and I’ve made leaps and bounds in my recovery through his guidance! I would recommend Dan to anyone who needs help going through a difficult time in their lives.”

Elías Gómez Castro
You are in good hands!
"Dan is a very thoughtful and skilled counsellor. His calm and insightful style puts people at ease. His approach is always ethical and is led by the person he is working with."

Friederike Robinson
Dan has a wealth of knowledge
" Very easy to talk to. He knows tons of different techniques and alters the sessions to meet you where you at on that day. "

Josephine Fay
Dan is extremely experienced
"The counselling service at Meta Minds Therapy is second to none. They provide so much value in their podcast as well. Dan is extremely experienced and anyone who works with him is bound to see amazing results in their life!"

Aimon Bebendorf
Specialised Support!
"I can wholeheartedly recommend Dan’s private practice and provide testimony to his skill in working with unpaid mental health carers. The feedback we have had from the carers he has worked with has been incredibly positive. One carer went out of her way to tell me how much he had positively impacted her life and her journey as a carer."

Jessica Jean
Uplifted by Compassion!
"Assisting families regularly while managing my own is challenging and stressful. I often feel anxious about work timelines as well as my own deadlines outside of the office. When challenges bring me down, Dan is able to give me new positive perspectives and alternative ways of problem solving."

Emma
I highly recommend Dan
"Dan is a gentleman who helps people realise that there is more to the story and you are not the one at fault. He is very easy going and very good at giving you positive criticism. Also makes people aware that in certain environments you should be mindful of what you say and whom you say it to."

Geoff Aquino
Thanks Dan and Meta Minds
"My friend had lost a partner last year and has been struggling to find his feet with work and life in general. Being a typical stubborn bloke, he was resistant to help. I finally managed to get him to contact Dan and Im stunned at how much difference there is in his energy and will to move forward again. Thanks Dan and Meta Minds. I wasn't sure what else to do."
