About Daniela
Daniela Schirmer is a counsellor who helps people navigate depression, anxiety, grief and relationship problems. She uses a warm, respectful style and aims to make sessions easy to follow. Clients can expect a calm space to talk and figure out realistic next steps.
Daniela draws on several ways of working to match what each person needs. She often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
Background and approach
She also uses client-centred methods that focus on listening and empathy while helping people find their own answers. Cognitive behavioural techniques are part of her toolkit when practical changes are helpful. These methods help break unhelpful thinking and build routines that improve mood and sleep.
Daniela combines talking with hands-on steps you can try between sessions. She pays attention to what happens in the relationship between counsellor and client. That relational focus helps uncover patterns of communication, intimacy and trust.
Daniela believes healing can come from being understood as well as from learning new skills. Her background includes six years of clinical experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She works online and in independent practice in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English and Portuguese.
People seek her help for many concerns including trauma, parenting strain, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, bipolar mood challenges, compassion fatigue and career stress. Her approach is tailored, practical and collaborative to suit each person's goals.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Daniela will discuss what feels most helpful in the first sessions and adjust plans as goals change. This is a collaborative process where the counsellor and client agree what to try and check in about progress.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls let people connect face to face when discussing relationships and attachment. Phone sessions or live chat can fit into a busy day or be easier when less bandwidth is available. Text-based messaging supports short check-ins and ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it simpler to keep continuity while juggling work, family and other commitments.
