Getting Help
Taking the First Step
Seeking help can feel daunting, particularly when anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, or other emotional challenges have been present for a long time. The good news is that effective psychological treatments are available, and meaningful change is possible.
The first step is a comprehensive psychological assessment, which typically lasts between 90 minutes and two hours. This allows us to develop a clear understanding of your difficulties, identify the factors contributing to them, establish a diagnosis where appropriate, and create an individualised treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Following the assessment, we will discuss the most appropriate therapeutic approach. Depending on the nature and complexity of the difficulties, treatment may range from a small number of focused sessions to longer-term therapy extending over several months.
You can make contact by email at therapy@danmirea.com or call +44 772 0711781 (WhatsApp) for an informal discussion. If I believe my experience and expertise can help, we can arrange an assessment and begin working towards meaningful and lasting change.

Other alternative solutions
If you are uncertain about your symptoms or the type of help you require, you may want to initially arrange an appointment with your General Practitioner (GP). Most GP’s know of psychotherapists working either privately or within the National Health Service, who are accredited to use CBT approaches. CBT via NHS is completely free although it is usually short-term and waiting for 3 to 12 months for a mental health assessment is a reality for most UK regions.
If you are having thoughts of suicide, are harming yourself or have thought about self-harm, it’s important to tell someone !!!
These thoughts and feelings can be complex, frightening and confusing, but you do not have to struggle alone.
If you cannot wait to see a doctor and feel unable to cope or keep yourself safe, contact one of the organisations below to get support right away. Or see further NHS advice on dealing with a mental health crisis or emergency.
