Advanced Counselling Therapies
With a career spanning decades, across a multitude of industries – Daniel’s aptitude for empowering people is what ultimately drew him to a career in counselling.
Daniel’s career commenced with a trade apprenticeship as a French Polisher and Cabinetmaker, where he spent 15 years producing high quality pieces to exacting standards. Daniel also worked in the security industry, at various hotels around Adelaide including the Century Hotel, Hilton Hotel, the Goodwood Park Hotel and the Ramsgate Hotel.
This gave Daniel an insight into a broad variety of people and the potential issues that people face in modern society. Daniel then turned his attentions to repairing machinery for VISY Board and now works at AMCOR in the same capacity. This has allowed Daniel’s problem solving abilities to shine.
Daniel is an extremely active person and has maintained a passion for fitness throughout his life – completing a TAFE qualification combining exercise physiology and personal training – throughout a 3-year period. The expertise he developed throughout his studies and life long commitment to martial arts, kick-boxing and leading an active lifestyle, steered him to open Core Strength Health and Fitness in 2014.
Core Strength Health and Fitness has a cult following in the northern suburbs of Adelaide and has enabled Daniel to grow his understanding of how self-awareness can foster personal empowerment. Daniel started teaching mindfulness as part of his fitness repertoire; in an attempt to help people succeed at achieving their goals and transform their lives.
Daniel has a deep connection to the ocean and the land. Daniel started spear fishing from the age of 13 years and was a spear fisherman for almost 15 years. Daniel also recently walked the Heysen Trail from Cape Jervis to Burra; as well as many other nature hikes that he completes weekly. Daniel is a self-confessed Jungian and is an avid reader of psychology & Eastern philosophy.
Daniel has been particularly influenced by the teachings of Thich Nhat Hanh, around mindfulness. Daniel is committed to the development of well-being and mindfulness, through connection to nature.
Daniel is a keen motorbike enthusiast. From the age of 30, Daniel raced motorbikes at Adelaide International Raceway, for 6 years. Daniel is also a father to 2 teenage children, and he cherishes his time with them and continues to strive for a better life for them.
Throughout Daniel’s career he has interacted with people at different levels and has the ability to create an environment of mutual respect, and open communication. In 2019, Daniel made a firm decision to formalise his studies in counselling through the Australian Institute of Professional Counsellors.
All these experiences have combined to make Daniel the person he is today, with the personal values that he holds deeply – to share his expertise with those he serves, to create an atmosphere of trust, where people feel welcomed & to help people create a plan for a better quality of life – with improved health outcomes:
