Hi, I’m Jake, a dedicated Hypnotherapist and experienced Dungeon Master. With over a decade of experience in stage hypnosis and leading Dungeons & Dragons sessions, my passion lies in blending therapeutic techniques with the imaginative world of gaming to foster personal growth and connection.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the art of storytelling and the power of the human mind. This led me to pursue a career in hypnotherapy, where I help individuals unlock their potential and overcome personal barriers. My unique approach to therapy through gaming allows participants to explore their creativity, build confidence, and develop essential social skills in an engaging and supportive environment.

In addition to my professional pursuits, I’ve always been an avid gamer. The world of tabletop role-playing games has been a significant part of my life, providing an outlet for creativity and a platform for meaningful interactions. As the head of Empowering Dungeons and Dragons, I am thrilled to bring my expertise to Socializer Gaming and help others experience the joy and benefits of these incredible games.

Hi, I’m Dale, a professional Psychotherapist, Counsellor, Coach and Mentor. Whilst I hold numerous degrees in mental health, (such as a Masters degree in Psychotherapy and Counselling, Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy and Counselling, Bachelor of Psychological Science and Certificates in Neurolinguistic Programming, Hypnotherapy, Life Coaching, Time Dynamics and Spiral Dynamics) it's really more about connecting with others and helping them grow in areas they struggle with.

I’ve also been excited about gaming and art ever since I was a kid. From table top role playing games, to wargaming, video games, drawing, and painting miniatures. If there is some sci-fi or fantasy element involved then I’m probably excited about it. Combining both of these passions of helping others with fun creative outlets is why I do what I do. I aim to provide the best mental health support possible, in a way that helps you feel connected and safe enough to grow into your best self. Whatever journey you’re on, I look forward to hanging out and working with you.
