You might be queer, creative, or sensitive — or all three. You’ve lived outside the lines in some way. Maybe you’ve done the healing work before but find yourself circling the same questions again: Who am I, really? What do I want? Where do I belong? You don’t want quick fixes or shallow advice. You want space to go deeper. To sit with the questions. To feel your way through. I work online and in person in Brighton and London in London Bridge, SE1

Hi, I’m Daniela, a therapist with 7 years of experience helping individuals and couples build more fulfilling and joyful lives together. Having grown up in a high-conflict environment, I understand firsthand the desire for better communication and connection without constant arguments. My journey led me to train at Tavistock as a systemic practitioner, where I learned that true change happens when we look at relationships holistically—acknowledging the patterns that keep us stuck and the dynamics that shape our lives. Let’s work together to strengthen your relationship, improve communication, and create lasting, positive change.

I work predominantly with queer, neurodivergent clients as I believe that it is essential to work with a therapist that understands your lived experience of being queer in a heteronormative and neurotypical world. I am always clear about the boundaries of my competence, and will let you know in the assessment session if I believe that I can be a useful and enriching therapist for you.

Do your thoughts race so fast it feels impossible to switch off? Are you exhausted from overthinking every interaction, worrying what others think? Do you find yourself saying yes to everyone but struggling to make space for yourself? Therapy can help you quiet anxious thoughts, build the confidence to say no without guilt, and trust yourself in making decisions that serve you. I offer a warm, supportive space where we can explore what’s weighing on you, understand where these patterns come from, and find practical ways to challenge and change them—so you can feel calmer, more in control, and more like yourself again.
