My mission is for those who live or walk on the Farside to have the right resources to discover their own toolkit for leading compassionate, healthier, secure and more sustainably enriched and embodied lives - connecting deeper in the areas and aspects of life, business, work and relationships that matter for you.
My main measurement of success - the seeing and being of who you are, improvement of your well-being and your lived experience, whilst performing and succeeding to your best abilities.

From entrepreneurs, leaders, teachers athletes, artists, creatives, coaches, therapists, professionals, specialists, seekers, healers - to those who live alternative lifestyles, feel invisible in life, anyone in between or on the outside who wishes for greater freedom from the 'social norms' (whatever that is these days)!
I also help struggling individuals, couples, families.

Peak performers and high achievers. Those who are needing to be in continual top form at any level, including elites, and where the stakes are high.

Self-discovery & spirituality
Are you on a journey of self inquiry, self discovery, embodied spirituality?
I work with a select handful of clients who are on a journey of deeper living, connection, relating.
I also provide legal psychedelic 'trip sitting' in Europe, as well as bespoke pre and post journey coaching - counselling - harm prevention education with psychedelics and plant medicine for a wide variety of uses.
From deep individual healing, acceptance, relational work, creative or consciousness exploring, or for personal/professional growth & expanded creativity/problem solving.
I help others to re-integrate their new perspectives with themselves, everyday life, family, and in community, or in their organisation/business.
Standard sessions:
For these clients I work using a various blend of mindfulness, meditation, coaching, counselling, hypnotherapy and self-inquiry to help them connect deeply to themselves, loved ones, their work, nature and the wider world. Professional preperation and integration provided.
Psychedelics:
There is currently a great deal of research into the value and use of psychedelics in healing, well-being, and overcoming emotional and spiritual traumas, as well as for self-discovery, creativity, exploring consciousness, problem solving and deepening ones lived experience.
I have been following psychedelic work on and off since having near death experiences (NDE's), amongst many deeply challenging life experiences in my early 20's.
In recent years, I was very fortunate to be offered a sponsorship opportunity to further my work and studies with psychedelics powerful therapuetic potentials on a facilitator training and integration programme with professional healthcare providers - Essence Education.
I have been liaising with those who are carrying out research studies and teaching various psychedelic courses, regularly attending Exeter University, UK, and speak with other academics and creatives in the field globally. I am also very grateful to become enrolled on Psychedlics Today highy esteemed 2024 Cohort 3 Vital Training Programme.
I continue to follow and remain up to date on psychedelic developments in England closely, with both the mainstream, and underground.
I also provide specialist coaching (and consulting) to therapists, academics, healers and organisations supporting or working with those using psychedelics.
“I was struggling with anxiety and didn't feel I had the tools through previous attempts to control what I was feeling and how it affected my relationships. Danny was able to guide me down new paths to see things I hadn't seen before in an organic way, with nothing feeling forced. All the realisations I came to were my own, Danny has a way of making you feel comfortable enough to connect the dots without doing it for you. Now, I feel my life is a bit more under my control, with a new found peace that lets me accept things for what they are. My symptoms have lessened to a point where I feel I can control them in a more measured way but I know Danny has my back if anything flares up in the future."
- Steve D. UK
“I came to the field both focused on ‘inner-work’, but also to psychedelic medicine, as a newcomer. The main factor I was looking for in a facilitator was trust. It was important to me to feel safe and in good hands, and that is exactly the experience I have had with Dan. His approach is the perfect balance of warm and caring, but professional too - and he knows when to push a little harder to get that extra depth or work out of his clients! Dan’s structured, bespoke and flexible approach to the whole journey has really made an incredible impact. The build up before ‘the event’, and the focus on continued integration afterwards using personal talking therapies has been invaluable. I really think it has made a deep and long-lasting effect on me, and I feel confident about my future having been armed with both knowledge and tools. I have had a transformational experience, and would recommend working with Dan to anyone who is curious about some ‘inner world’ exploration and finding some new ways to enhance wellbeing and your approach to life.”
“Although I wasn’t planning to have a second psychedelic medicine experience, I can say confidently in hindsight that the combination of the two has had a profoundly positive impact on my life. The combination of the medicinal experiences, and the integration work that Dan led me through (prior, in between, and following the sessions) all weaved together, somewhat magically, to create an incredibly strong therapeutic experience. I could not recommend working with Dan enough - his emphasis on the importance of the work in and around the experiences is unique, and where I believe the magic lies.”
- Sarah P. UK
"Would highly recommend connecting with Dan and Farside. I had been following a meditation practise for a number of months but found it difficult to bring mindfulness into my daily life. Dan has helped me incorporate mindfulness habits as part of my routine alongside bringing a real practical perspective to some of the concepts I had been struggling with. Thanks, Dan!"
- Tom C. AU
“As a longstanding client of Dan, I have had the privilege of getting to know him on both a personal, and professional basis, and can attest to his passion and thirst for knowledge in thefield of “personal development”.He is someone who genuinely cares about people and the natural world. In the process of getting to know Danny I have witnessed, first hand, his journey, and his strong commitment to expand his own knowledge in order to help others.”
- Christopher M. IE
