About me!

Dax Hall

Hi! I’m a transmasc nonbinary creature with a constellation of passions and experiences. I use they/them or it/it’s pronouns, and I bring my whole, vibrant self into this work.

I hold a degree in Person-Centred Counselling and a Masters in Psychology, which shape both the heart and the structure of my practice. I blend theory with lived experience, and I’m always learning, adapting, and growing alongside my clients.

I grew up undiagnosed neurodivergent, AuDHD, to be exact, and while I’m proud of who I am now, it wasn’t easy. I also live with hEDS (hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome), which really kicked in during my twenties, along with a handful of comorbid conditions. You’ll regularly see me rocking KT tape in sessions or using some sort of mobility aid, and I’m always happy to answer questions about it. Visibility matters.

My gender journey has been complex, layered, and ongoing, but I’m happier than I’ve ever been. I’ve been queer my whole life, and I hold space for fluidity, exploration, and joy. I believe in celebrating identity, not just surviving it. I am both kink active and aware, and very passionate about safety and ethics. If you want to chat, please strike up a conversation.

I’ve tried a lot of paths, and animal care was a big one; it still holds a special place in my heart. But when chronic illness shifted my reality, I knew I needed to be my own boss, study at my own pace, and support people who are gloriously weird like me.

I’ve been married for 11 years to my brilliant partner (who is my rock,) and together we share our home with two furry pug children who rule the roost. If you come for sessions in person, you will get to meet them!

I’m nerdy as heck, and if you didn't guess, story-obsessed. Heavy fantasy, deep sci-fi, slice-of-life realism, I love it all. Board games, video games, and tabletop roleplay are my world. I write constantly, putting myself and others into new, exciting situations to connect and puzzle through.

My other passions include escape rooms, crazy golf, eating out, and music. You’ll rarely catch me with the same hair colour twice, I change it like seasons, like stories, like spells.

In the last few years, I’ve found myself stepping into teaching — something I never expected to love as much as I do. That shift was sparked by my brilliant mentor, Ri Punt (you’ll hear more about her later). With her encouragement, I now run CPD days and co-teach counselling courses, and it’s become one of the most rewarding parts of my work. There’s something powerful about creating space for new counsellors to grow, ask questions, and find their own voice. I didn’t know how much I’d cherish it until I was in it.

At the heart of my work is a belief in communication. Not just as a skill, but as something vital. A lifeline. I think we’re all storytellers, really. Trying to make sense of our world, our bodies, our identities, our relationships. Trying to connect the dots.

We’re social creatures. We reach out because we want to be understood, to feel seen and to find connection. Sometimes, what we need most is someone who actually listens. Someone who hears the story we’re telling, even the parts we didn’t realise we were saying out loud.

I work from a person-centred foundation, honouring each client’s autonomy, wisdom, and capacity for growth. My approach is also pluralistic, meaning I draw from a wide range of modalities, from CBT and Gestalt to Jungian, creative, and trauma-informed techniques, always tailored to the individual.

My specialisms include:

  • Sex and relationships, including kink, non-monogamy, and intimacy after trauma

  • Neurodiversity, with a focus on sensory comfort, affirming communication, and reducing cognitive load.

  • GSRD (Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversity), supporting queer, trans, kink, poly and questioning clients with joy, nuance, and lived experience

I believe therapy should feel safe, affirming, and sensory-aware, especially for neurodivergent and disabled clients. I use metaphor, myth, and visual storytelling to help people explore their inner worlds in ways that feel resonant and empowering. Really hearing what you are telling me.

As Carl Rogers said:

“The good life is a process, not a state of being. It is a direction, not a destination… The person who is open to experience is like a flower reaching out toward the sun.”

I hold space for that reaching! Be it messy, beautiful, or nonlinear. Whether you’re navigating gender, grief, trauma, joy, or just trying to make sense of things, I’m here to walk beside you, not ahead of you..
