Her sessions integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Schema Therapy, adapted through play-based and trauma-informed strategies that are engaging and developmentally appropriate.

Daniela has extensive experience working with neurodiverse children and their families, including those with ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), learning differences, and emotional regulation challenges. Having worked within the NDIS scheme as both a Behaviour Support Practitioner and psychologist, she understands how to create practical, evidence-based plans that help families implement strategies at home, school, and in the community. Her dual experience allows her to bridge behavioural and emotional needs, supporting children in developing positive coping skills while helping parents feel equipped and empowered.
