Hello, I’m Daniela
A warm, skilled presence for the work that matters most
I’m an integrative counsellor based in Manchester, originally from the Dominican Republic, but I have been a little bit all of over the world.
I offer a warm, culturally aware, creative, and genuinely collaborative space. One that meets you where you are and adapts to you, not the other way around. Together, we’ll work to understand what’s going on for you, at a pace that feels right.

What clients say about their experiences
Daniela gave me tools to cope with my anxiety and panic attacks and helped get things in perspective. She was incredibly supportive and I felt the overall experience was very positive.
I have been blown away by my counselling sessions, and how effective they have been on my life! Daniela is extremely professional, calm, consistent and wise. It was a time where I felt safe.
I have just completed a 6 sessions of counselling with Daniela, which I found to be so beneficial, and has supported me to deal with my issues in so many ways. I felt comfortable talking to Daniela. The sessions were non-judgmental, felt I was in a safe space, listened to and was provided with so many tools/resources which I was able to use after the sessions. I was able to explore my own thoughts with someone I could trust and who understood how I was feeling. I actually looked forward to the sessions as I could start to feel more in control and confident after the first couple of sessions.
Daniela was amazing start to finish. Considering it was my first time receiving therapy she made it a pleasurable experience. Can’t thank her enough for making me feel so comfortable.
Daniela was helpful, understanding, patient, nonjudgmental and challenged me in a positive way. She helped me understand myself and the importance of taking care of myself. I felt very safe in her hands.
Daniela has helped me see through my trauma, and I feel now how I have wanted to for so long. She has helped me make sense of things and I feel that she has helped me piece myself together and thoughts have ‘clicked’ into place. Daniela has also provided me with ‘Tools’ which I will use now and within my life.
