How My Therapy Works
The Integrated Way approach is driven by scientific research. Which shows that secure-functioning, emotionally healthy relationships enhance our personal well-being.
We’ll trace and unpack the root causes of your outdated, emotional habits. Plus knee-jerk reactions to stress, so they can be unraveled, unlearned and replaced.
With effective and skillful replacements based on wisdom, compassion and understanding.
We are all programmed to experience relationships in a particular way based on our early primary relationships. How we were related to and what was modelled to us as children.
These emotional habits are hardwired into our brains and nervous systems without us realising. They dramatically impact how we function in our adult relationships.
They include a whole set of beliefs about ourselves and the world. Though we are generally unaware of their influence and the extent that these beliefs are running our lives
I’ll equip you to increase your emotional intelligence. To develop insight and compassion about who you are and how you have been living.
Under the surface, emotions drive many of our decisions. Most of us have little comprehension of the emotional dynamics driving the decisions we make and reactions we have to stress.
Through in-person and online therapy sessions I help people. To develop a deep knowledge and comprehension of the emotional habits that lie behind our habitual decision making.
As soon as we experience stress, we are not run by our conscious mind any more. We are run by a more basic program. Older automatic emotional habits that were intelligent responses in early life.
You will develop greater freedom to respond rather than react.
You will have greater freedom to choose how to respond to stressful moments and more skillfully navigate difficult relationships.
Who Is Daniel Lichtman?
My practice on Wellington Street is just steps from the Mid-Levels Escalator. I know the reality of this city. You can be surrounded by people in a packed bar in Soho or Lan Kwai Fong, yet feel completely isolated.
I specialize in helping high-functioning professionals bridge that gap. My role is to challenge and guide you to build personal relationships that are as successful as your career—starting with the relationship you have with yourself.
I work with a diverse range of clients, from Hedge Fund Managers and Pilots to Rabbis and Corporate Lawyers. I bring a balance of fierceness, humor, and humility to every session, helping you navigate the unique pressures of life in Hong Kong.”

My Professional Background.
I’ve been in the personal development field since 2002. I spend several hundred hours each year participating in extensive training in the latest coaching and psychotherapy practices.
My expertise combines years of mindfulness training and Buddhist philosophy. I also have advanced studies in developmental neuroscience and attachment theory.
However, my own relationships are the real wellspring of my knowledge and wisdom. My experience as a committed husband, father, son, and friend most heavily informs how I help others. others.
Working with Daniel has been life changing. He exudes “living in the moment”. Just sitting next to him, I sense a calm within myself that I’ve not known otherwise. The weeks that I spent in group work with Daniel have shown me more of myself than I ever could have imagined, and I am better for it.
Working with Daniel continues to be an incredibly valuable and important part of my life. He is an incredibly skillful listener, full of empathy and authenticity. Through his sharp insights and caring support, he has helped me make sense of my life experiences and behaviors while providing me with the hope and mental tools required to better myself. I strongly believe that anybody seeking a life coach, or guide would be very well served by seeing Daniel (either individually or as part of a men’s group)
Daniel Lichtman is a skilled and spiritual warrior. He is ballsy and gentle, heartfelt and edgy, strong and playful. He has been a keen witness to my process, artfully creating space where I feel safe and can take risks. I feel both supported and challenged in his presence. Daniel is simply a living invitation to journey in the heart.
