Daniela Schirmer, BACP

Daniela Schirmer is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She supports adults who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting pressures, grief, trauma, anxiety, depression and related concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and tend to focus on practical steps for everyday life.

Daniela uses an integrative, relational approach. She pays attention to what happens between people as much as what happens inside an individual. That means conversations look at patterns in relationships, attachment and how past experiences shape current reactions.

Her work draws on approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. In practice this can mean mapping unhelpful thinking, noticing interaction patterns with others, and practising clearer ways of communicating. She sometimes brings creative methods into sessions when they help a point land.

People come to Daniela for help with parenting strain, intimacy concerns, coping after loss, and with the stress that builds from juggling work and home. She also addresses issues such as addiction, eating and sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem. Sessions aim to make small changes that can ease daily pressure.
