James’s Testimonial

James Flavell

DJ | Music Producer

 

I started working with Dan during a critical point of change in my life. I was in a stable job that I was very good at. It also supported me well financially, but it didn't make me happy. I was in ways, at the top of ladder in my career, but it wasn't the one I wanted to climb. I was completely burnt out physically and mentally…

“However, after a friend recommended Dan and specifically mentioned that he 'changed their life', I signed up to a program and we got to work.

Step by step we dug deeper in the root causes of my problems, and also the negative narratives I was telling myself every day. Dan helped me theoretically rewrite the story I had written myself, and fundamentally helped me understand my own mind more. From the things that trigger me and how I can deal with them, to how I catastrophise situations and play out scenarios before they even exist. We also worked on my perfectionism that was essentially warping my perceptions of reality and holding me back from enjoying the simple things in life.

I have at times in the past sought out professional help in the form of counselling and a therapy, but from my experience, they just listened for an hour or so without helping me to implement strategies or goals to work towards.  Dan however held me accountable for my actions and supported me in finding solutions, which is exactly what I needed. 

Dan's approach to coaching is professional yet also relaxed and friendly. It felt like meeting up with a friend each week, but one who had studied coaching, psychology, mental health and human behaviour for a long time. 

I'd highly recommend coaching with Dan. It's an investment worth making, as you will only thrive and achieve more when you come out the other side!”
