All I can say is if you want to change, and you really are ready to take the road less traveled, then Rhian is your transformation guide. Immense amount of knowledge and he puts things in such perspective that you get your mind blown. One of the best decisions of my life was to commit to healing, and I can say wholeheartedly that I’m wiser, more peaceful, and at a level I never imagined, all thanks to Rhian. Take a chance on yourself! Rhian is the Yoda to your Luke Skywalker. The Alfred to your Batman. The Mr. Miyagi to your Karate Kid.

My work with Rhian has been instrumental to my healing and growth journey. I started seeing Rhian back in 2016 due to debilitating anxiety and panic attacks. I knew that I needed to see a transpersonal psychologist because I needed someone who had a firm understanding on spirituality and psychology.
I saw Rhian for a couple years. He was easy to talk to. Kind, open-minded, and very constructive. I felt safe and comfortable in our sessions.
He helped me put my past experiences through a spiritual lens and pointed me in the direction to not only accept, but really open up to my spiritual gifts through dreams, clairvoyance, and past-life visions. I was able to open up about parts of my past that I hadn't didn't feel comfortable sharing with other therapists in the past. Because of this, I was able to reconcile different aspects of my past through our sessions. I was therefore able to release the anxiety trapped in my body and also learned that my anxiety was teaching me. That I was going down a path that was not aligned with my highest truth and expression.
I felt like I understood myself more and had a better sense of my purpose here on earth.
Rhian has a perspective on things that brings further meaning into these experiences. I'm very thankful that he offers insight into these matters. I have experienced healing, I'd even dare say, in multiple life times. In our work together, Rhian also taught me about manifesting, which I still use to this day.
In our earlier work together, I became engaged and I remember he said something along the lines of, "Be aware of where you may be losing yourself or forfeiting parts of yourself." That stuck with me.
I reached out to him a few years later after getting married and realizing that I did indeed forfeit parts of myself. In our later sessions in 2022, I was reminded of my truth and core essence. In 2023, I realized the relationship I had been in for 15 years was no longer aligned. Because of our work together, I have started the journey to reclaim those parts of me that I had lost or let go of. I think back to our work together with immense gratitude.
Thank you, Rhian, from the bottom of my heart, for helping me find myself again and again, for being a huge support and kind soul on this journey of healing and ever evolving growth and expansion!

Rhian is a wonderful therapist and I highly recommend him to anyone who is struggling and needs a helping hand. He uses visual aids and metaphors to make his deep wisdom easy to catch on to, and is a great listener.
To help better understand Rhian’s work, here's a bit about my story and the impact he’s had on my life. My life’s journey led me to a place of feeling lost. . . feeling not myself anymore. . .and feeling stuck. These difficult feelings began affecting all areas of my life (social, physical, work…) and it reached a point where I knew I needed professional help. So I looked around, and after a few years, I found my way to Rhian.
Wilderness Rites of Passage stood out to me on his page, and when we first spoke, he told me that we are like computers - programmed a certain way since birth and if we want to change ourselves then we have to change our programming, change what goes in to change what comes out. He also said that how much I get from working with him is gonna be up to me, and how much I’m willing to put into it. I decided to work with him because I liked these two perspectives about therapy.
The first time we met in person I was nervous, knowing I was gonna have to be vulnerable and talk to another person about my emotions and problems. However, my nerves were put at ease very soon when he allowed me to completely relax on the reclined chair, close my eyes, and just do what made me feel comfortable. Then came the sharing.
I shared with him everything I was going through and all the thoughts that were on my mind, all the while Rhian sat there patiently and listened. When I was done, he walked to the whiteboard and began drawing two circles and a dot. He was drawing the human mind (our computers). From what I understand now, it goes something like this: the outer circle is filled with the unhelpful whereas the inner dot is filled with the helpful. If we are able to make the inner dot be what goes in to our minds, then we will change the programming. Since the inner dot is the good stuff, we have to learn to make the inner voice louder than the outer one. For example, let’s say this: my mind is circling back and forth between the future and the past, causing me to get stressed out and feel guilty. I am caught in this cycle, unable to break loose, and it causes me to make poor decisions in the day like eating unhealthy food, and it sucks. To break free from the cycle I have to quiet the outer and come to the inner. I have to come back to this inner dialogue in which I say, “whoa, do you see that cycle we’re going though? Let me catch that, and not keep feeding it into my mind, that way I can reprogram my computer to produce more positive and healthy outputs.”
This is something that takes practice, and Rhian has been helping me do that. On top of that, he has helped me see many things more clearly about my life.
It’s impossible to go into depth on everything that Rhian has told me, but that’s not the point. The point is to tell you that since I have been working with him, my life has changed. I no longer feel stuck. I am a friend to myself again. I am comfortable in my own two shoes around other people. I see a path forward that I am hopeful about. I am in control of myself. I am awake during the day, aware of my actions and their consequences, which allows me to make decisions that will bring me closer to my higher self, the version of me I want to become.
I still have so much to learn. Yes, to put it all together, I would say that Rhian has helped me wake up and take control of my own life, and do so in a gentle and loving-towards-myself kind of way. They say a master cannot walk the path for you, they can only show you the way. So I know it’s not only thanks to Rhian these changes have been taking place in my life, but I do have him to thank for showing me the way. And for that, I will always be grateful. My journey is only beginning, and maybe one day I can be the person that helps others find their way, but for now, you have my word that Rhian can be that person for you.
Cheers, Wes.

Rhian has helped me go through tough times over the last 8 years. He has helped acknowledge issues that hindered my happiness and he has followed through the process of addressing them.
With him I have learned to manage my stress and anxiety, live more in the present, see things from different perspectives and focus on living in the present.

I received incredible guidance (career and family life). Rhian's approaches were combined from his business and spiritual training, providing me the balance needed in these two worlds.
Rhian also worked with our teenagers, daughter and son. They have continued to improve in their lives and our family is in harmony. Thank you, Rhian.

After one session, Rhian helped me to work through a difficult time in my life. He is a very good listener and followed up with me twice after the visit. Going back again to do some more internal work.

Rhian Daniel is a conscious and grounded healer. I've worked with Rhian for five years and have come to relish his grounded connection to the Universe. He is very skilled at working with nature, deciphering hidden meanings, and interpreting interactions with plants and animals. He has helped me feel more grounded in my body and the natural world.
As an accomplished rites-of-passage leader, Rhian skillfully integrates indigenous philosophy with contemporary psychology, and has extensive experience helping people find answers to perplexing life and existential questions. I feel safe with him. I know I can talk to him about anything. The best part is, we always end up having fun.

I was referred to Rhian by a friend when I was feeling lost in my career direction and having problems in my relationship. When I met Rhian, I immediately felt comfortable and safe. He is down to earth, very caring, insightful, and intuitive.
I was highly impressed by his depth of experience and knowledge and how he was always able to offer an alternative perspective to a situation I was struggling with. He never told me what to do; rather he guided me to find answers and ways that felt aligned with who I am.
It was really interesting because we began our sessions in an office and then moved our sessions to different spots in nature. I didn't understand how that would work. Yet, it was incredible! Through the use of his grounded spiritual and psychological expertise and the magic of nature, Rhian helped me open my eyes and heart to my deepest desires and life purpose in a way I never imagined was possible.
I highly recommend Rhian to anyone who wants clarity and a deeper sense of happiness.

I highly recommend Rhian Daniel if you are looking to improve the quality of your life and would like a deeper understanding of your unique and spiritual place in the universe.
A few months back, I was looking for a transpersonal psychologist because I was experiencing severe and debilitating anxiety attacks. I was referred to Rhian by his wife, who is also a transpersonal psychologist, but was fully booked at the time. I was skeptical at first because I thought I would feel more comfortable talking about my feelings with another woman, but I thought I'd give it a try. Rhian offers a no-charge 30 minute discovery meeting to see if the two of you working together would be a good fit. After speaking to him during the discovery meeting, I felt no issues opening up at all. He's kind, open-minded, and very constructive. I've felt safe and comfortable in our sessions.
I've seen a lot of different types of psychologists from moving around (Psychoanalytic, cognitive, humanistic) and also sought alternative healing methods (Reiki, hypnotherapy, shamanistic healing, etc.). I really wanted to try transpersonal psychology because it takes a look at 2 different facets - modern psychology and the spiritual analysis of the human condition - and combines them into one holistic practice. My Yogi Tea label tells me we are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but we are spiritual beings having a human experience. Well, I'd still like to know that spilling my spiritual guts to someone is still backed by quantitative scientific data that has helped other humans.
So far, it's been great! I don't have anxiety attacks as much as I used to. It's rare if I actually do. I have been able to open up about aspects of my life, where I haven't been comfortable doing before. Because of this, I've been able to work through a lot of issues in a short period of time. It takes work. I've had to dig into my feelings, examine my past, and redefine my outlook on certain things, but it really has helped. I feel like I understand myself more and have a better sense of my purpose here on earth.
In addition, I've been able to talk about spiritual aspects of my life that I haven't been able to before in detail. They involve psychic abilities, clairvoyant dreams, and "past-life" memories. Rhian has a perspective on things that brings further meaning into these experiences. I'm very thankful that he offers insight into these matters. I have experienced healing, I'd even dare say, in multiple life times.
Either way: if you feel like you're a human being having a spiritual crisis or a spiritual being having a human crisis, go see him! It really wouldn't hurt to try. 🙂
