Welcome
I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with a private practice in North Hobart.
I work with people who are trying to navigate their lives with more insight and awareness, improve their mental health, recover from loss and trauma, and nurture more fulfilling relationships.
If you are looking for someone to talk to, this site will help you decide if my approach might be right for you.
Areas of Focus
Usually people begin therapy because of several overlapping mental health concerns. These may include depression, anxiety, grief, trauma or sleep disturbance, as well as difficulties related to personality, identity, neurodiversity or sexuality.
To help with these difficulties I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your experience, while drawing on my professional skills and expertise to guide a therapeutic process aimed at meaningful, lasting change.
I have a warm, thoughtful style, and experience working with people in varied circumstances and stages of life.
If this sounds like something you are interested in, contact me︎︎︎ to enquire about working together.

“I’m very happy to recommend Daniel Silver. I was full of trepidation before my first session as I’d never really attended therapy before. Daniel put my mind at ease and was very easy to talk to. He has really helped me to move forward in my life and reframe my thinking after many years of trying to ignore past situations that had negatively impacted on me.”

Counselling and psychology are overlapping professions, though ther are differences in scope when it comes to some formal assessments, or giving expert evidence.

When choosing a therapist, what matters most is that you feel comfortable and respected. In general, all therapists have their own style and preferred ways of working, such that diversity among therapists reflects the diversity of human survival and flourishing.

What therapy offers is a relationship with someone trained and experienced in helping you sort through aspects of your experience which are negatively impacting your mental health and relationships. If this sounds like something you are interested in, then therapy can be an invaluable and transformative process.
