More about Daniela
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I'm a BACP-accredited therapist with several years’ experience working with both individuals and couples in private practice and online settings. My approach is integrative and trauma-informed, which means I draw from a range of therapeutic models including person-centred and process-oriented therapy, CBT, Gestalt, psychodynamic approaches, movement and art therapy, and Nonviolent Communication (NVC). I tailor my approach to suit the needs of each person I work with.
Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or in conflict, my aim is to offer a warm, respectful, and supportive space where we can explore what’s happening and find a way forward that feels real and meaningful for you.
I work relationally, this means I pay close attention to what’s happening not just within you, but also between you and others, including here in the therapeutic space. I believe healing and insight come not just from talking, but from being genuinely met and understood.
I work with a wide range of issues including anxiety, stress, grief, relational difficulties, trauma, addiction, disconnection, and life transitions. I also support couples navigating communication breakdowns, conflict, emotional distancing, or uncertainty about the future of their relationship.
Beginning therapy can bring a lot to the surface, that’s completely natural. I’m here to offer a steady, compassionate space as we find a way forward together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
