My Approach

Therapy with me is an embodied, collaborative process that sheds light on past experiences that have shaped your sense of self, understanding of the world and how you relate to others.

I do not position myself as the ‘expert’ on your life, but provide a ‘safe’, exploratory space to support you in finding the answers that lie within you. In this way, I hope to help you cultivate inner confidence and personal resources to build an embodied sense of empowerment, ease, and stability into your life.

My approach is developmentally informed & trauma aware, drawing from the latest research on attachment theory, neuroscience, mindfulness, and the nervous system. I am influenced by holistic models that emphasise the mind-body connection, combining talk therapy with experiential and mindfulness-based strategies. The modalities I work with include Internal Family Systems (“parts work”), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Gestalt, Somatic Experiencing (SE) and body-orientated Focusing.

I encourage you to enter the therapy space with a sense of curiosity and openness, a readiness to step out of your comfort zone and trust the process. We are in this together and I am committed to being there for you as a faithful companion on your journey.

Couples

In addition to working with individuals, I hold space for couples in bravely sharing their vulnerabilities and personal narratives with the intention of disrupting unhelpful dynamics and improving communication.

By creating a safe, collaborative space for both partners to be heard, my aim is to help couples discover ways to deepen their intimacy, repair the past & move forward constructively in their relationship.

Testimonials

“Working with Dafna has been a really powerful experience. She has the ability to make her clients feel heard and cared for which creates a safe environment for opening up and being vulnerable. Over the last year, I feel like I have progressed leaps and bounds in my emotional development and I know that this is a direct result of the work Dafna and I have been doing."

Crystal

"Dafna continues to provide me with a space to heal, process and ponder. She encourages me to sit with seemingly incidental experiences a little bit longer or try a technique to explore what's in my thoughts. This approach has led to many realisations about myself and how I interact with the world. The comfort I feel during our sessions has made some of the more overwhelming parts of my life less dominating and I am truly grateful for her guidance."

Tessa

"I have seen many therapists, but have always struggled to find someone who has the intuitiveness and warmth as Dafna, with whom I immediately felt safe, supported and respected. Our sessions feel like a conversation - she is happy to make observations, to guide and make suggestions. Dafna's ability to draw connections between physical manifestations of stress and the subconscious has helped me to become more body-literate and proactive in responding to my emotional triggers. I highly recommend Dafna to anyone who is looking for a modern, collaborative and highly individualised approach to mental health."

Ilana

"I was hesitant at first to engage a therapist, but it turned into a very positive decision because of Dafna and her exceptional ability to listen, interpret and guide. She has been an amazing resource in equipping me to work through feelings and situations that have otherwise been inaccessible. I strongly recommend Dafna as a very talented therapist, who's skill seems to derive from a genuine interest to empathise and understand."
