DAREN BANARSË

The Imposter’s Guide to Authentic Expression & Creative Confidence

BACP LICENSED PSYCHOTHERAPIST

I help people overcome imposter syndrome, self-doubt, and the creative blocks that stop them from expressing themselves authentically — using somatic psychotherapy and mindfulness to restore vibrant confidence and creativity.

MY PHILOSOPHY

The Art of Letting Go

Being blocked doesn’t mean you lack talent or potential. Most of the time, it’s fear, self-doubt, and overthinking that get in the way.

When you stop fighting these feelings and learn to work with them, a natural freedom arises. In that space, your creativity, true voice, and social confidence can shine through effortlessly.

For people who:
– Long to express themselves freely — in art, work, or relationships
– Sense there’s more inside them than they currently share
– Experience social anxiety or fear of being judged
– Feel creatively blocked or uninspired

My APPROACH

Discovering your natural flow

Freedom and creativity didn’t come instantly for me. For years, I believed nothing could help me feel fully alive—until I realised how tightly my body and mind were contracted. That insight changed everything.

Through a blend of body-based psychotherapy, mindfulness, and creative exploration, you’ll learn to:

  • Notice your thoughts and emotions without judgment
  • Connect with your body to move past fear, self-consciousness, and hesitation
  • Unlock authentic expression in art, work, and life
  • Build confidence that feels natural, not forced

We’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck, gently opening space for authentic self-expression, creative ease and social confidence.
