Dan was very good at listening to my circumstances and feelings, he also has a calm pressence. He assisted me with getting through a tough time and appropriately asked questions that allowed me to safely express my frustrations. There was a focus on constructive positive thoughts and feelings which allowed me to achieve goals. He also took session notes, which he emailed, which really help me make sense of things and followed up with me in the following sessions. Highly recommend.

I was sceptical at first of 'Life Coaching.' "Life Coach ! What do I need a life coach for ?? Bar and Humbug!" But.....i have three daughters who all do life, (or relationship) coaching, and even I couldn't deny the change it had made in them. So, when me and Terri kept hitting the same wall in our relationship, we decided we would give Relatioship Coaching a go. "I'm tired of counselling," said Terri, "they're good for listening, and getting me to talk about stuff, but I don't feel like anything really changes!" I want tools, I want to learn skills, that I can use to make my life better." That's exactly what we got. Tools. Skills. Practical ways of improving our individual lives, and our relationship. It started as soon as Dan walked in and sat at the table opposite us, and still continues to this day, because what we learned I coaching we take with us, and apply it every day, and.....it works But it's not magic. It's no easy fix. You have to be honest with yourself, your partner, and the loved ones around you, and honesty for a homosapien, can be hard. Dan provides a safe environment for that to happen. So.....if your 'fair drinking about wanting a better life, and better relationships, then Dan' is the Man. ( He does support Collingwood? But I guess perfection doesn't exist this side of death.)
