I’m passionate about making therapy fun, engaging, and meaningful. Especially for kids who’ve found it tough or tiring in the past. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing a child rediscover joy, feel understood, and genuinely look forward to coming back. I love bringing energy, connection, and creativity to sessions, turning challenges into opportunities for confidence and growth.

Dan began his career in a small paediatric clinic, where he developed a strong foundation working with children and young adults with complex needs. His early work spanned across early intervention and adolescent support, providing him with a broad and adaptable skillset. Dan also undertook a year of rural practice, further honing his ability to deliver flexible, family-centred care and facilitate intensive therapy programs during school holidays. Now at iThrive, Dan draws on this diverse experience to deliver goal-directed therapy that is both effective and engaging. He is committed to creating a positive therapeutic environment where clients feel understood, empowered, and motivated to achieve meaningful outcomes.
