Welcome! I'm Damian Hourican, MBACP-registered therapist offering therapy sessions online and in-person in Wimbledon and surrounding areas of South West London (SW19).
Starting therapy can feel daunting. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or unsure where to begin. I offer a calm, non-judgemental space where you can talk openly and be heard, at your own pace.
Is therapy right for you?
You might be considering therapy if you are experiencing:
How therapy can help.
Therapy offers a space to slow things down and make sense of your thoughts, feelings and experiences. Working together, we can explore what may be contributing to your difficulties and find ways of bringing about change that feel right for you.
Through therapy, you may 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 BACP-registered counsellor and work in line with professional standards. I work integratively, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), EMDR, and hypnotherapy, tailoring my work to meet each client’s individual needs. Ongoing training and regular clinical supervision remain an essential part of my practice.
As a therapist, I offer a private space for you to talk, whilst helping you explore thoughts, emotions, events, past experiences, and behaviours. I work with many different client types. You can arrange a free telephone consultation where I can introduce myself and you can see I am the right fit for you. You can also take this opportunity to ask any questions you may have.
You have the lived experience of your own set of unique life events, whilst I have the therapeutic knowledge to bring about deeper awareness, introduce you to internal systems, identify coping mechanisms, explore why emotions are present and what they mean, and to help you process what's happening on many different levels. We will move 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.
