About Me.

Through my own personal journey of discovering how to balance keeping many plates spinning across 3 very large areas of my life, I discovered the power of Mindfulness, NLP Hypnotherapy, and Transformational Coaching.

I realised that by addressing internal issues, one could create positive external outcomes, in turn increasing their positive internal state... It was this realisation, along with a deeper understanding of our interconnected nature, that fuelled my mission to empower others in their complex and nuanced lives, towards achieving not onlystress-free balance between their Home-Work-Life, but to live in a healthier, happier, fulfilling state too!


I've trained and honed my skills through personal hands on experiences of making my vision a reality whilst running my own businesses, working on my relationships and family home, whilst living my own life too.

I've studied deep mindfulness and had the privilege of professional personal mentors throughout the years. I've also gone through to obtain further professional qualifications and certifications in Life and Personal Performance Coaching, (NLP - Neuro Linguistic Programming) Hypnotherapy, Counselling Skills, Trauma-informed coaching, and Transformational Leadership Facilitation. I also hold professional certifications for the safe facilitation of Psychedelic medicine, and further continued my education and studies with Psychedelics Today Vital Programme on 'Psychedelic-informed Practice, Harm Reduction, and Integration'.


Rooted in self-compassion, understanding, and a commitment to co-create personalised support, my unique approach combines various modalities and is client-led, creating a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their emotions, gain self-awareness, and develop practical tools for lasting changes.

With my unique blend of expertise and experience, along with a grounded, deep and broad approach, I provide highly tailored coaching, mentoring, and support for those investing in personal growth, development and well-being, wether it's personally, in your relationships and home life, or in your business or organisation, I'm passionately dedicated to helping you navigate your own life, home and business complexities to unlock your full potential!

Mission & Vision

• Doing Things Differently - Since Forever •

My Mission is to help others go beyond survival, and through awareness, achieve lasting transformation to thrive.

​​

I help individuals, couples, families, entrepreneurs, businesses, leaders, and teams of all backgrounds to navigate personal, relational, professional challenges, foster safer environments, lead with compassionate communication, and develop trusting relationships, through deepening awareness, presence, and taking thoughtful action, and learning to thrive from an inside out approach.

My Vision is for more people to have a higher base understanding of Trauma, attachement, attunement, and power skills, experience being centred in awareness, and through compassion, co-operation and kindness, becoming consciously present, engaged and alive in all domains of life - connecting in accordance with nature, kindness, and forming peaceful, deeper and richer relations (without the fluff, by-passing or grandiosity).​​

 

From survivor to thriver - facilitating your developmental potential for lasting change.

 

Dan, the founder of Farside, facilitates and coaches in high-stress, high-performance or trauma-exposed environments, he offers various services, experiences, skills, tools, stratergies and solutions for lasting change.

He's passionate about helping people navigate complex situations, foster compassionate-leadership, teamwork, and effective communication, including creating safe and secure relational, parenting and family environments.

 

Dan embodies an inclusive non-judgmental safe and steady atmosphere which is a springboard for healing, development, and growth towards lasting fulfilment and success.

My Approach

I blend a range of powerful professional modalities that empower emotional awareness and self-motivation for taking actions in ones life, business, vocation or career towards the outcomes they wish to move towards, personally/professionally.

Inside

I begin with stillness, silence, and discovery of inner peace, balance, centredness, kindness, compassion, self-awareness, self love, and mindfulness.

Outside

I provide bespoke multidisciplinary coaching to embody and live a fulfilled and balanced life with clarity, stability, performance, and progress.

Style

I am a deeply steady professional who is passionate about my work. I hold a confident, safe, and trusting space, honouring confidentiality, and meeting you, your business, team, group, or club with where you are, delivering a neutral space for you to explore, design, create, develop, and grow.

Farside Origins: Dan founded Farside Project in early 2020, diverting attention away from his previous ventures and plans to run a compassionate diverse high end barbering studio, cafe, and well-being hub 'somewhere' in England. Dreams of a vibrant and bustling place for all.

 

The vision was of a high quality barbering and mindfulness studio with a sister cafe/bar. A place to just show up and deeply connect with others - no matter what was going on in one's life. A place to rest, breathe, and to just 'be'. The idea was to look good on the outside, feel better on the inside, connect and network with others.

 

Covid arrived, and many plans changed. Dan's own life was in a state of flux, and he also began noticing the higher amounts of stress, fear and anxiety rising in clients, and around the world. Having experienced such a challenging loss of emotional and financial control in his life years ago, Dan was noticing similar sensations, however his reactions were slightly different to the past, instead he felt propelled into a journey of deeply serving and helping others...
 

The plans were to up-skill himself and his studio. To begin blending barbering in the chair - with coaching, therapy, & mindfulness outside of the chair.

 

The vision was something for everyone to deeply relax, restore and feel nourished, whilst having an opportunity to unpack or work through challening sitiuations presenting in themsleves and their life, professionally or personally.

 

Early years, Farside gained success with impressive clients including Premier League Footballers, high flying entrepreneurs, celebrities, top level leaders, creatives, artists, among every day people with all kinds of really interesting backgrounds and lives.
