About Danielle Sands

Hello, I am Danielle sands. I’m a degree-qualified mental health nurse I am also an NLP and EFT therapist. I was born and bred in Norfolk.

I set off travelling and working around the world and returned to Norwich to do A levels in psychology and sociology. I then travelled more but sadly I had a major life event that lead me back to Norwich and the love and safety of my friends and family. This event is what sparked my interest in mental health and why people become unwell and sometimes choose a permanent solution to a temporary problem. My fascination lead me to become a mental health nurse.

I became more intrigued in why we are what we are and how to make the best of it. Risk assessment and harm minimisation was my focus however, being the optimistic, determined and persistent person I am, I wanted to know more and then realised these people with disorders and illnesses had hidden talents and true greatness. Most seemed to have found themselves in the mental health service through no fault of their own other than possibly making a few bad choices.

I spent the next few years doing every course and piece of training to better equip myself to help people. I trained as an NLP practitioner which I loved and so completed the masters course. I am also a trained EFT specialist and now have a good knowledge in many other therapeutic interventions.

In 2014 I completed my post-registration degree in mental health nursing (BSc Hons) at the Universtiy of East Anglia covering modules around mentoring, medicine, personality disorders and drug and alcohol misuse.

What my clients say about me

Danielle’s belief in my own abilities to overcome my issues is very powerful

Initally I found Danielle’s continual optimism, positive thinking and truly person centered approach quite a challenge as it was so new to me, but I’m so glad I “risked” putting my trust in Danielle. Due to her honesty and expertise in all of the ” out of the box” therapies she uses I’ve now learnt so many new skills to enable me to help myself with the issues I still have. One of the most important things I’ve learnt from Danielle is “if it works then just accept it you don’t need to know how / why it works”. Danielle’s belief in my own abilities to overcome my issues is very powerful, I’m not a naturally optimistic person,where as Danielle is,so for me I can use that as a reference.

After just one session it felt as though half the battle was won

In 2010 I started to experience panic attacks and depression, having never experienced these feelings before my world was turned upside down and was almost unbearable. After visiting my GP I was referred to a mental health nurse, which is when I met Danielle. After just one session it felt as though half the battle was won, to have someone who not only understood the way that I felt and the emotions I was going through, but also being able to explain why my brain was acting in such a way, was invaluable. I continued to see Danielle as a private patient, not only did she guide be back to being my old self, she helped me improve my confidence and self-esteem. Whatever the state of your mental health, the benefit of sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone who can decipher them is amazing and shouldn’t be under estimated.

Like a human defibrillator, she has jolted me back to life

I first met Danielle in 2013 when she was working for the NHS. She was the one person that believed in me and instantly connected with me on a much deeper level than anyone before. Since then she has set up her own practice and I am so pleased she has!! She is accessible directly, not via a referral.
Danielle sees you for who you truly are, reaching into your soul and in the most delicate yet powerful way manoeuvres you to reach for the light in yourself. She is a powerhouse of knowledge, generosity, kindness, fun, energy and love. Like a human defibrillator, she has jolted me back to life and always knows what to say, giving practical techniques, scientific explanation and such a soothing hypnosis that subconsciously creates positive brain paths.
I highly recommend Danielle. She has certainly helped me immensely and thanks to her, I’m living today and excited about tomorrow.
