About Daniela
Daniela Schirmer offers help for people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with intimacy. She also addresses eating and sleeping concerns, addiction, anger, self-esteem, career worries, and coping with life changes. Daniela is a BACP counsellor with six years of practice in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English and Portuguese.
Daniela keeps sessions straightforward and warm. She creates a respectful space where people can talk about what matters most and find practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Her style is relational - she pays attention to feelings and to patterns between people as well as what happens inside a person. Her work draws from attachment-based ideas and client-centred principles together with cognitive behavioural methods and emotionally-focused work. This mix helps with emotional patterns, unhelpful thinking, and painful relationship moments.
Daniela adapts tools to suit each person’s situation rather than using a fixed formula. Therapy may involve talking through past hurts, mapping out how thoughts affect mood, and practising new ways to connect with others. She aims to make sessions clear and manageable, breaking larger issues into small steps.
Sessions can include short exercises, reflection and setting realistic goals. Daniela has experience supporting people through betrayal, abandonment, communication breakdowns, chronic pain and blended family challenges. She offers video, phone, live chat and text-based sessions and does not take on international clients.

Online support
Finding the best approach is part of the work. Daniela will discuss what feels most useful for each person and try different methods if needed. That means goals, preferences and practical needs shape the plan rather than a one-size-fits-all method, and decisions are made together as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and needs. Video calls suit longer conversations and clearer non-verbal cues. Phone work can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat or messaging can suit shorter reflections, ongoing notes between sessions or when writing feels more comfortable than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and daily life.
