About me.
My choice of combining mental and physical health originally came from my own experiences. Having spent most of my life dealing with mental and physical issues mostly stemming from complex ptsd, I found myself immersed in health related situations for many years. The human body and mind has always fascinated me and i have never stopped working on myself and by default helping others. Fortunately I found that i was good at it. It was not my career but it was my passion so I decided to help others on a more professional level and therefore started the process of studying. I already had physical fitness experience having trained since i was 18 primarily with weight lifting (and training others) so i pursued this with qualifying in gym instructing and personal training. I also loved martial arts. I have a black belt in Ninjitsui and i am on track (as of the end of 2026) to have a black belt in Taekwondo and a black belt in Kick Boxing. I followed the gym training with a qualification in nutrition. I am also currently studying again to advance this qualification. I also achieved a diploma in psychology which inspired me to train as a psychotherapist. I had personally seen a human givens practitioner a few years before and found it amazing. (Human Givens is an evidence based approach to therapy that focuses on fulfilling innate human and emotional physical needs.)
I have now qualified in Human Givens and in order to progress my training to level three (to treat more complex issues such as Bi Polar and Schizophrenia) i am offering free sessions until November 2026.
I can treat anxiety, depression and addiction and other issues considered mild to moderate but at this point not more serious or complex cases until i have completed my Level three. Pleas call me or email me to see if you are eligible. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation.
Testimonials
I have ME and (other health issues). I was recently hospitalised and I am now in rehabilitation. Darren has been so supportive all the way through and has helped me in so many ways. He still guides me and i really value his input.

I have known Darren for a long time and as long as i have known him he has been a fixer. I have had depression, social anxiety and generally i have been very unhealthy and unmotivated. I didn't know how much diet and lifestyle was linked to mental health and i can honestly say that my life really has changed. He really has helped me so much. I have a job i love and i do not need any medications.
DH
I have/had MS for many years.
It took time but i no longer need a stick to walk, and i no longer have horrendous migraines.
I am in the best health i have been in for so many years.
I would never have believed this was possible and I am so grateful.

Whether it is physical fitness, mental health, diet or all of those I can help. And if it something that is beyond my skill set i will say and be honest.
It is without question that mental and physical health go together. We need balance to achieve any form of homeostasis. It doesn't have to be complicated and you do not have to walk this walk alone. Enjoy health. Enjoy life.
