About Daniela
Daniela Schirmer is a BACP counsellor who supports people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy worries, stress and anxiety. She also helps with addiction, sleep and eating difficulties, low self-esteem, career pressures and coping with life changes. Daniela offers a calm, respectful space for people to talk about what feels stuck or overwhelming.
In sessions she adapts to each person’s needs and mixes different ways of working. Daniela pays close attention to patterns in relationships and how those affect day-to-day life.
Background and approach
She uses Jungian ideas alongside attachment-focused and client-centred ways of working to help people notice deeper feelings and repeated relationship patterns. She sets out to make the therapeutic relationship itself a place to learn about connection and change. Conversations may include reflecting on emotions, looking at past wounds, and trying new ways of relating.
Practical steps such as coping strategies and cognitive tools are also offered when useful. Daniela has six years of clinical experience in independent practice and online work in the United Kingdom. Her BACP credential is shown as BACP when first referenced and then as BACP.
She works in English and Portuguese and adapts sessions to each person’s pace. People who choose Daniela can expect a warm and steady approach, with an emphasis on understanding both inner experience and relational patterns. The aim is to find practical ways forward that feel meaningful and achievable.

Online support
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Daniela uses Jungian Therapy to look at deeper images, symbols and recurring life themes that can show up in dreams, stories and relationships; this can help when people feel stuck or are searching for meaning. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early patterns of relating shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment wounds, and communication problems. Finding the right approach is part of therapy and will be decided together. The therapist will listen to your concerns, goals and preferences and suggest which ways of working to try first. Adjustments can be made as therapy progresses to match what is most helpful. Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that matters, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, ongoing reflection, or when written communication feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
