Therapies for anxiety, trauma, depression, overwhelm, low self esteem, change work, or loss.
Welcome! I'm Damian Hourican, offering therapy approaches that fit you, either online or in-person from Wimbledon & Chiswick.
Hi, I realise starting therapy can feel daunting. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to begin - I know I was before therapy gave me the step up I once needed. I now work with an ethos of giving back to others by providing a calm, affordable, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly about what is going on for you; through a therapeutic relationship we can unpack any emotional or psychological distress and find new ways to gain clarity and control of those experiences and regulate the nervous system as we do so. We will work collaboratively, understanding your unique circumstances as they are for you, and work in a way that allows you to gain knowledge of yourself. I will support you each step of the way.
Who do I specialise in helping?
I work particularly well with those experiencing:
How my practice can help!
My practice provided a space to slow things down and make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Working together, we can explore what is going on for you, what may be contributing to your difficulties and find ways of bringing about change that feels right for you.
Through therapy, you can begin to:

There is no pressure to talk about anything until you're ready. We work at a pace that feels safe and manageable for you.
I draw from a range of Therapeutic approaches including:
I have completed over six years of committed training and supervised clinical practice to qualify as a therapist. This included in-depth theoretical study alongside extensive client work, including a clinical placement within the NHS, which helped shape a thoughtful, safe, and professional approach to therapy. I am a MBACP-registered therapist and work in line with professional standards. I work integratively, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR and NLP tailoring my work to meet each client’s individual needs.
As a therapist, I offer a private space for you to process and navigate thoughts, emotions, events, past experiences, and behaviours. You can arrange a free telephone consultation where I can introduce myself and you can see if I am the right fit for you. You can also take this opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
Therapy can help you understand patterns in your thoughts and emotions so that you feel more in control and able to move forward. It can bring about deeper awareness, identify coping mechanisms, and help you process what has been happening on many different levels. We will use this space to move you forward at your pace.
Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially if you're unsure what to expect. I work with empathy and consideration to your needs at all times. If you'd like to arrange an initial appointment or ask a question, you're welcome to contact me.
