Hello there, my name is Daniel. I’ve been in France since May 2024 but have only just found this forum. I’m living in the Dordogne and am about to renew my visa for another year. I work online as a coach and therapist (anxiety and stress management and burnout prevention and recovery). I’m trying to get myself a more European presence and help English speaking exapts all over, rather than rely on UK only. Any tips gratefully received. Also, if anyone is in the 24700 postcode area, I have a three-year old American Bulldog called Nuala. She’s totally friendly but needs an appropriately energetic playmate. She loves food, cuddles, zoomies and chasing around with other dogs. Would love to meet up with an appropriate hound. Thanks for reading.

Possibly a surname, a siret, credentials, specific things you do (eg how do you prevent a burn-out) this is what I would look for if I were in the market for that type of thing. Also you might avoid the word expat, if you don’t want to say immigrant you could just say resident in France/other European country.
Hi there and nice to meet you. Thanks for reaching out. You’re absolutely right. My name is Daniel Fryer and my siret is 931 173 231 00016. I work in a goal directed way using cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), clinical hypnotherapy and elements of positive psychology and can help English speaking residents across the EU. More information is available on my website www.danielfryer.com. Am also still interested in meeting bouncy dog owners in the 24700 region. Thank you.
Hi there and thank you for your reply. And yes, will definitely reach out to @cat - thank you for the heads up. Kind regards, D
Also, I’ve just received the Spotify introduction from Catharine Sceats (thank you for the introductory email, very nice of you) and with it, realised, that I haven’t made the best of introductions. So, hello everyone. I’m Daniel (I also answer to Danny and Dan and, even, D). I’m from London originally but lived in Bristol, UK, from 2016 to 2024. I moved to France to escape the weather, the high cost of living and the endless amounts of construction (and the noise it creates) that was going on all over the city. I stayed in Rethel with a friend for two months before moving to the Dordogne. I now live in a gîte in the middle of a forest about 14km from a town called Montopon Menesterol. I live with my above mentioned hound, Nuala. I’m a published author and avid nature lover.
Hi Daniel,
Great that you are in Dordogne (so beautiful there!!). i’m a therapist as well (Gestalt) and work in Paris. Do you also work in person ? Just to know if I ever I hear of people in your region who might need an English-speaking therapist.
Hello there and thank you for your reply. Always good to meet other therapists. I am online only at the moment. Thinking about an in-person clinic in Bordeaux. And yes please, but not just in my region. I currently have a client who divides his time between Paris and Utrecht.
