About me

I’m Dan Ireland – Founder and Psychotherapist based on the Gold Coast.

Experiences of psychological trauma and significant changes in our life (like relationship breakdowns and people passing) profoundly change our relationship to our body and mind. The Growth from Trauma Centre (GFTC) is dedicated to research based effective, trauma-informed practices that help survivors safely re-connect to their body so that they may engage more fully with their life.

Trauma and Symptoms of Poor Mental Health affects a persons’ life – often eroding trust and confidence, affecting your behaviour, leading you to withdraw from everyday activities and breaking down connection with friends, family and loved ones.

What we offer is called Post Traumatic Growth… or Empowering Ourselves from Trauma and Symptoms of Poor Mental Health.

Testimonials

"Dan is a life changer, he has magical skills for helping people move through and free ourselves from the rabbit hole of trauma."

James Caden

"I have not been able to drive my car anywhere since the head on collision with a drunk driver.
Immediately when I got in the car again I wasn’t wracked with fear and anxiety. It was almost like it had never happened, like I was back to how I felt prior to the accident, I hope that makes sense.
In terms of relief from the trauma, your process is incredible, thank you."

Kirk Roberts

"Since the murder of my son, this has been the first time I have been free of the constant bombardment of images and guilt. It has helped me to remember him the way I would want too. I can’t thank you enough."

Jodie Hepburn

"Just wanted to thank you again for your beautiful work with Pxxx. Not only you got him out of the darkness he was in but also gave him the tools to cope with things in the future. As a result, he has been accepted as an apprentice at a local accountancy firm, XXXX XXXX. So he’s out here with us on the family holiday, driving around northern Italy, enjoying his last weeks of ‘freedom’!"

Craig Johnson

"I know you said it’s down to me but your sessions and teachings have been what has changed it for me, I have read so many books on the subject and done courses, I even went off to the UK a while back to do a weekend retreat but struggled to get it. I’ve had a few plummets this week, but I have begun to sit differently, more softly with with the feelings, and come out the other side feeling ok rather than spiraling down which is fantastic. My family are benefiting too. Thank goodness!"
