About me
Welcome to Richmond Counselling: A Safe Space to Heal and Grow
Hello, I’m Daniela, an experienced BACP Registered Integrative Counsellor & Psychotherapist. I work with adults and young people, drawing on a range of therapeutic approaches to suit individual needs, including psychodynamic, person-centred, and cognitive-behavioural techniques. My practice focuses on helping clients make sense of their experiences, navigate challenges, and develop practical strategies for change.
I have worked with a wide range of clients, providing coaching and counselling to individuals looking to improve confidence, career direction, and personal effectiveness. My work with young people has included supporting them through anxiety, school-related stress, family difficulties, and self-identity challenges. In counselling, I have worked with both individuals and couples, helping clients navigate relationship dynamics, process past experiences, manage emotional regulation, and work through life transitions.
Who I Help?
I work with individuals from all walks of life, but my clients often come to me for issues including:
- Abuse
- Addiction
- Anxiety
- Bereavement
- Depression
- Family problems
- Loneliness
- Low self esteem
- Loss and grief
- Relationship difficulties
- Stress
- Work related issues
My Approach
As an Integrative Counsellor and Psychotherapist, I tailor every session to you. My approach blends therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), Person-Centred Approach and Psychodynamic Therapy. This means we work not only on understanding and exploring in depth your challenges but also on practical ways to overcome them.
A Bit About Me
I live and work in the beautiful area of Richmond upon Thames, a place I’m grateful to call home. When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying long walks in Richmond Park, exploring local cafes, or practicing mindfulness to recharge my energy.
As someone who has experienced the transformative power of therapy, I believe in the importance of balance—between work and rest, caring for others and caring for yourself. It’s a lesson I continue to practice in my own life, and one I love helping my clients discover for themselves.
What You’ll Gain from Counselling
In our work together, you will:
- Discover practical tools to manage anxiety, stress, and self-doubt.
- Build stronger relationships through better communication and boundaries.
- Reconnect with your inner self and find a sense of purpose.
- Learn how to rest and recharge without guilt. Therapy is a place where you can truly be yourself—no judgment, no pressure—just the support you need to find your way forward.
Let’s Get Started
Taking the first step can feel scary, but it’s also incredibly brave. Whether you’re navigating a tough relationship, struggling with self-esteem, or just feeling stuck, I’m here to help.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
