🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Dan has been a massive help to our family. We reached out to him when our daughter was going through a really difficult time, and from the first session, it was... read more clear she connected with him in a way that made a real difference. Dan tells it like it is, but he does it with care and experience — exactly what she needed. Since working with him, we’ve seen real progress. He’s helped guide her through tough weekends, temptations, and bad habits, and given us as parents the confidence to support her the right way. His advice on giving her structure, setting boundaries, and not expecting miracles has been spot-on. She actually looks forward to seeing him, which says everything. He’s been consistent, understanding, and no-nonsense — a rare combo. We’re heading on a family holiday now feeling more hopeful than we have in a long time. Couldn’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks Dan 🙏

April 4, 2025I had my first session with Dan today. He greeted me with a firm handshake and a massive smile 😀 which put me at ease from the off. I have been struggling... read more with alcoholism for a number of years. I have tried different approaches for support including achieve and AA. These do help people. However, I’d been seeing Dans page popping up and decided to grow a pair and contact him on Friday afternoon. By the Friday evening we had arranged todays meet. I had heard his story in podcasts ect but it was more inspiring and hit home more hearing it from Dan himself. He gave me the space to talk and we are putting together a plan of ACTION which has given me the confidence and the strong, positive mindset going forward in my recovery. I would highly recommend Dan to anyone who is or has family members or friends struggling with alcohol especially in the city Manchester (not exclusive to) to get in touch. Thank You Big Dan! ✊🏾 Looking forward to our next meeting ⭐️

I met with him and... read more he quickly made me feel better about things. The most important thing was me was being able to talk to someone who has done the same things and was not judgy about it at all, so sharing this has made me feel much more confident about managing things in the future.

March 14, 2025Don't waste your money. If you have a friend capable of swearing at you, speak to him. £50 for a 45 minute walk, during which I had to remind him not to... read more swear his mouth off in front of toddlers... deplorable. Communication standards were well below par, would pose a question and mid way through answering would interrupt with stories about his own "amazing" journey. A very nice man at heart, but no wheret near 5 star or worth paying for.

March 8, 2025So I was very nervous and scared, and phoned to ask about the help Dan could give me to get off the booze. From that phone call to now I... read more have had nothing but friendly, helpful and constructive advice and support from him I had the pleasure of 4 sessions with him I am now 5 weeks sober and feel fantastic. Each day is a new day and knowing T2BD is only a call, text or email away if I need him is a god send. He has been so helpful in keeping me on track. I have my life and my family back and I love it. I can't thank Dan enough. If you're reading this it means you’re thinking of asking for help and I would highly recommend this lovely supportive person to set you in your way. Jp
