How My Coaching Works
The Integrated Way approach is driven by scientific research. Which shows that secure-functioning, emotionally healthy relationships enhance our personal well-being.
We’ll trace and unpack the root causes of your outdated, emotional habits. Plus knee-jerk reactions to stress, so they can be unraveled, unlearned and replaced.
With effective and skillful replacements based on wisdom, compassion and understanding.
We are all programmed to experience relationships in a particular way based on our early primary relationships. How we were related to and what was modelled to us as children.
These emotional habits are hardwired into our brains and nervous systems without us realising. They dramatically impact how we function in our adult relationships.
They include a whole set of beliefs about ourselves and the world. Though we are generally unaware of their influence and the extent that these beliefs are running our lives
I’ll equip you to increase your emotional intelligence. To develop insight and compassion about who you are and how you have been living.
Under the surface, emotions drive many of our decisions. Most of us have little comprehension of the emotional dynamics driving the decisions we make and reactions we have to stress.
Through in-person and online sessions I help people. To develop a deep knowledge and comprehension of the emotional habits that lie behind our habitual decision making.
As soon as we experience stress, we are not run by our conscious mind any more. We are run by a more basic programme. Older automatic emotional habits that were intelligent responses in early life.
You will develop greater freedom to respond rather than react.
You will have greater freedom to choose how to respond to stressful moments and more skillfully navigate difficult relationships.

Working with Daniel has been life changing. He exudes “living in the moment”. Just sitting next to him, I sense a calm within myself that I’ve not known otherwise. The weeks that I spent in group work with Daniel have shown me more of myself than I ever could have imagined, and I am better for it.

Through his sharp insights and caring support, he has helped me make sense of my life experiences and behaviors while providing me with the hope and mental tools required to better myself.
