I invite you to share with me and gain the skills you need to solve problems with confidence to improve your wellbeing.
Online + In office sessions in Madrid
Welcome!
My name is Daniela and I’m a psychology-trained therapist from Mexico.
Originally from Mexico City, I spent two years in Madrid before moving to Barcelona for three years, and I returned to Madrid in 2025. I offer online therapy to clients worldwide, as well as in-person therapy sessions in the Ibiza neighbourhood of Madrid.
Having navigated the emotional and practical challenges of immigration myself, I’m passionate about supporting others as they adapt to life in a new culture.
English and Spanish
MA Rational Emotive and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, BSc Psychology
Let me share an exercise showing how to manage a difficult situation
So, what does working with me feel like?
I will help you make friends with your feelings.
Come as you are and together we can explore your emotions and how to manage them so you can feel more at ease.
I will help you learn new skills.
I offer you tools I have in my professional toolbox. It is a daily job getting to know yourself better and I hope to help you harness what you believe to be ‘weaknesses’ in your favour.
I offer a respectful, professional and warm relationship.
I have a deep respect for my clients. It is courageous, no matter how old you are, to seek support when you are having problems. I feel privileged to accompany you in this moment of your life and will offer you a safe space.
I have a practical approach.
I draw from my knowledge of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), and REBT (Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy) to help you learn how to manage your mind, emotions, and situations. Yes! There will be homework (useful homework).

I have always been a people person and a helper.
When I was a child, I struggled with my self-worth in school until I studied psychology. Finally, I was good at something because I was doing what I love. I understood it was my calling in life.
Giving people a safe space and having a skill set that can help people help themselves navigate their challenges in life is a privilege. I love my work!
How did I realise my calling in life was psychology?

details about me
Connection gives me energy. I love to be surrounded by my friends, family and partner as much as possible.
Nature is my medicine. When I feel anxious or stressed I like meditating and being surrounded by nature.
I believe everything happens for a reason. Instead of asking “Why is this happening to me?” I prefer to ask: “For what reason is this happening to me?”
what clients
say about working with me
Working with Daniela has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From the very first session, she created a space that felt safe, non-judgmental, and genuinely supportive — something I had never experienced before. She has a unique ability to listen not just to my words, but to the emotions and thoughts behind them, helping me uncover parts of myself I didn’t even realize were there. What makes Daniela truly exceptional is her capacity to challenge me with compassion. She never judges; instead, she gently offers new perspectives that allow me to see my life and my choices through a different, kinder lens. Her insights are profound yet practical, and she always meets me exactly where I am — with patience, empathy, and authenticity. Through her guidance, I’ve learned to understand myself better, to process emotions I once avoided, and to rebuild my confidence and inner strength. She doesn’t just help me cope; she helps me grow into the best version of myself — someone more grounded, self-aware, and capable of creating genuine change. Daniela has been more than a therapist to me; she has been a steady source of clarity, support, and hope. Her presence in my journey has made a lasting impact that words can barely express. I am deeply grateful for her dedication, her kindness, and her unwavering belief in my potential.
I really felt heard and that Daniela was working to understand the root of my emotions. I connected really well with her and look forward the work we will do together. She created a space where I felt safe to share vulnerable experiences.
Daniela has been an incredible support for me during some difficult periods in my life. She is kind and understanding, and puts you at ease to share, even the most overwhelming things. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter and with new ways to handle what’s going on. I’m so grateful for everything Daniela has done, and continues to do, for me; I honestly would not be the person I am today without her help.
Daniela is fantastic. Empathetic, structured. We accomplished more than I would have even hoped right at the first session.
loved everything about her. i know she will be a great help to my teen and help her have a space safe to talk, grow and share.
I spent a lot of money on therapists that didn’t really acknowledge my needs. They agreed on the first session but then continued with their own plan and I quit after a couple of months. Daniela is the first therapist that actually gives me what I need which is ways to cope with my depression when it comes. We don’t waste time on irrelevant things. She also has a great way to make me notice things I haven’t before, and to make me come up with answers and solutions I didn’t know I had in me.
I had a lovely experience with Daniela. She explained her process of working with her clients, asked great questions, took notes (I'm glad she did), followed up my comments with supportive and genuine feeling. She is professional, kind, has a nice sense of humor, and is so very friendly. I am looking forward to working with her as I continue to adjust to my retired life in Valencia, Spain.
It felt really good to talk to Daniela, I already got some things out of just first session and felt a good connection. All was good.
I tried another therapist before Daniela and that did not work out, she did not understand what I wanted to work on etc.. But Daniela understood me and heard me. Looking forward to our sessions in the future.
Daniela was great, she really seemed to listen and understand what we are going through, even gave us some tips to try right away. We are excited to continue working with her
She was really nice because she never complained about my weird identity choices or my obsessions or anything !! I think she helped a lot :3
Daniela is a fantastic therapist. She really helped me with an issue, I couldn't resolve myself. In each session, we broke it down, and with my homework, I was able to overcome the issue successfully in a healthy way. I truly appreciated Daniela´s therapy, as she always let me bring my own topics and I observed on more than one occasion, what a brilliant therapist she is, because she truly understood the root issue, and asked deep questions which helped me to address what was really the underlying condition/ misbelief. It is difficult to find a good therapist and to establish trust, and with Daniela I really felt comfortable and I could tell her everything. I felt safe in the sessions. She really understood the broader picture. I am really happy with her service.
I felt heard and comfortable during the session. Daniela's positive energy also helped me feel more at ease during the session. She noticed all the smaller details I said.
The experience has been very different from other times I've been to therapy. Previously, my therapists have needed to do a diagnosis and focus on working on specific goals for specific issues. And I understand how that can be an effective treatment. But this time I needed to take my mess of thoughts and examine many different things and just process what I've been going through. It has been refreshing to find a therapist that meets me where I am that day and has a toolbox of many skills they can rely on to help me with what I need in the moment.
Daniela is amazing! She has really created a safe space for me and I really appreciate that she has received me with kindness and love and that’s all I really needed.
It's been helping and I already see changes in me. Very happy with it.
We had the initial consultation with Daniela for our daughter. She explained her way of working, which seems clear and aligns with what we're looking for.
It surpassed all expectations!! Thank you
After filling out the intake form, I was recommended Daniela. It was very easy to schedule a session and make the payment. I was a bit nervous going into the session as I have not had therapy before and wasn't sure what to expect. Daniela made me feel very comfortable from the beginning, explaining the process and letting me know that she is here to help. I felt good coming out of the session and I am looking forward to continuing with her.
The session was great and didn’t feel too intense for the first one. Looking forward to more with Daniela.
Everything was great, efficient and professional. Thank you
Optimistic vibes about how this is going to go.
I very much felt understood and not judged for anything I talked about. I talked about everything I wanted to mention and I am happy with her process.
Daniela was friendly and kind and put us at ease. She was open and easy to talk to. I think she will be a great fit for our son.
I shared a lot and Daniela made it very clear the goals we were going to work towards together. Looking forward to future sessions.
The first session was nice and very comfortable. I think my following sessions will help me to release some of the anxiety and unnecessary worry that I carry with me
