As a Type 1 Diabetic of over 30 years, Daniel has an in-depth understanding of how psychological factors can affect your ability to thrive. These are some of the issues that he addresses in children, adolescents and adults who have Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes:
Depression, Anxiety and other psychological disorders that are linked to diabetes (did you know that 50% of all diabetics also experience symptoms of depression?).
Diabetes burnout.
Denial, avoidance and “non-compliance”.
General coaching to help achieve diabetes related goals.
Treatment for diabetes-related eating disorders
Therapy for diabetes-related sexual dysfunction.
Treatment of needle phobias.
Hypoglycaemia phobias (fear of going low) and hypoglycaemia unawareness (where you don’t realize that you’re going low).
Therapy to target barriers against weight loss and lifestyle change
