Daniela is a relational and emotion-focused psychotherapist who works with adults (18+) navigating life’s challenges—including anxiety, grief, sadness, overwhelm, and times of transition. She offers a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their emotional world, make sense of their experiences, and reconnect with their authentic selves.
Daniela believes in the profound healing that comes from tuning into the body’s signals—especially in a world that often prioritises thinking over feeling. Her approach supports clients in building emotional awareness and uncovering what lies beneath the struggles that brought them to therapy.
She is passionate about creating a trusting therapeutic relationship where meaningful change can unfold gently and at each client’s pace.
Daniela currently has availability for new clients in Papakura and New Lynn. She welcomes inquiries for an initial session to see whether the therapeutic relationship feels like the right fit.
