My name is Daniella and I am an HPCSA registered Clinical Psychologist with training and experience across both inpatient and outpatient settings.

I currently run a small private practice based in Gardens, Cape Town where I work with adolescents, adults and couples who are looking for a deeper understanding of themselves and their inner worlds.

My approach is both reflective and active. Therapy is not about fixing you, but about developing awareness, emotional capacity and choice. During sessions with me, we will spend time exploring past experiences and the ways they continue to shape how you relate to yourself and others, while also building practical skills to help you navigate these challenges more effectively. At times this involves noticing and sitting with difficult emotions. At other times it means being challenged, supported to think differently or encouraged to step outside of familiar patterns.

I place a strong emphasis on the therapeutic relationship. Feeling safe, understood and respected in the room allows for meaningful progress in therapy. I aim to be present, engaged and human - offering insight where helpful, asking thoughtful questions and collaborating with you. We move at a pace that feels manageable and remain curious about what emerges. I encourage feedback and view therapy as something we shape together, responding to what you need as you grow and change.
