Your instructor: Liam Dent

Hi, I’m Liam Dent, founder of Driver Therapy – and for over 27 years, I’ve been helping people not just to drive, but to drive with confidence.

I’m a DVSA Approved Grade A Driving Instructor, Driving Therapist, and NLP Master Practitioner, combining traditional driver training with advanced therapeutic techniques such as Life Coaching, and Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP). This unique blend allows me to help learners and experienced drivers alike overcome fear, anxiety, and self-doubt behind the wheel.

I’ve been a driving instructor since 1999, and over the years I’ve guided countless people who once believed they’d never drive again. My success rate is something I’m truly proud of – many of my clients arrive anxious and leave confident, calm, and in control.

My work is deeply personal. Having faced and overcome my own serious health challenges in the past, I know exactly what it feels like to struggle with fear and uncertainty. That experience has given me a genuine sense of empathy and understanding – I don’t just teach driving; I help people rebuild confidence, resilience, and independence.

I run a fully equipped, dual-controlled training car that’s always clean, comfortable, and meticulously maintained. My sessions are a balance of professionalism and compassion, learning and fun – because when you feel relaxed, you learn faster and achieve more.

Alongside my work as a therapist and instructor, I’m also a driving instructor trainer, helping other instructors raise their standards and develop their teaching skills. Outside of work, I live in Keighley, West Yorkshire, I’m a keen motorcyclist, and I also study martial arts, which keeps me focused, disciplined, and grounded.

My experience has taught me that everyone’s journey is different, but with the right support, anyone can become a confident driver. If driving fear or anxiety has been holding you back, I’d love to help you find your freedom on the road – calmly, safely, and with a renewed sense of belief in yourself.

You don’t have to face this alone – together, we’ll get you back in the driver’s seat, in every sense of the word.
