Your journey to greater confidence, deeper connection, and emotional wellbeing
Hi, I’m Danni Unway, Surf Confidence Coach and NCIP registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor.
Life's unexpected challenges, whether a scary wipeout, ongoing anxiety or low mood, or life events that shake your sense of self, can leave you feeling stuck, disconnected, and weighed down.
It can affect our view of the world and how we show up in our relationships with self and others. Living in a world full of distractions can also pull us away from staying present and exploring within.
I work on the premise that we are all interconnected, and healthy human connection is a powerful part of our healing journey.
That's where my support comes in. Often, resisting hardship or difficult emotions causes more suffering than necessary, as many of us aren't taught how to process them and instinctively numb the pain through unhealthy patterns. With personalised therapy, surf confidence coaching, online courses, and well-being workshops, I help you identify wellbeing goals, manage struggles, release what holds you back, and step into lasting confidence and ease, whether on land or in the water.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety or low mood, would like to build confidence, or improve your relationship with surfing, I’m here to guide you.
HOW I WORK
My approach is rooted in compassion, connection, and a deep understanding of the human experience.
I believe in supporting clients to develop greater self-awareness, confidence, and emotional wellbeing by providing the tools, insights, and space they need to grow and thrive.
My own healing inspired my passion to help others
As a teenager, I experienced the devastating loss of both my sister and my best friend. This sent me into a spiral of anxiety and depression, leading to years of unhealthy coping mechanisms, feeling disconnected from the world.
The world did not feel like a friendly place and relationships were challenging. But slowly, through psychotherapy, yoga, meditation, surfing and the healing power of the ocean, I began to heal.
As I started to grow my awareness, understand my emotions better and practice self-acceptance & compassion, I rediscovered that zest and joy for life that I thought was lost forever.
This journey ignited within me a deep sense of empathy and understanding for anyone struggling with their mental health. Being able to support others in their own healing is something I am so passionate about – in and out of the water.
The sea, once it casts its spell, holds one in its net of wonder forever.
