Dan Heath 

I began my training at Birkbeck University of London, qualifying at the renowned Highgate Counselling Centre (UK. Est.1966). I am registered & an accredited member of the BACP - The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. I work within and in reference to their ethical and professional guidelines.  In line with BACP membership I am also committed to Continuing Professional Development and undertake regular supervision of my work. The BACP is accredited to the British Standards Authority. My private practice is based in Highgate and London Bridge. 

 

I previously trained with Place2Be in respect of working with children and young people and I am Enhanced DBS checked. I was for many years, involved in suicide prevention work and was a longstanding member of a National Listening Charity.

​

Prior to clinical training I enjoyed a career as a senior executive and people manager.  Active listening and more crucially ‘subjective thinking' played a key role in understanding and developing large teams of people; cross culturally and in a range of settings.

​

Whilst training and clinical experience has provided a framework for understanding how feelings manifest, it is within relationships where healing tends to occur. The knowledge and skills I've gained, support people suffering acute psychic pain and those living with diagnosed mental health difficulties. Equally, for those who are experiencing emotional disturbance that is impacting their wellbeing and enjoyment of life. 

​

I am particularly interested to see those suffering with anxious and depressive feelings especially arising from co-dependence. I am also curious to understand the mechanisms of post-modern crisis capitalism and the impact that these contemporary events are having on our unconscious world.
