About Daniella Macpherson

I am a qualified psychotherapist and counsellor practising in Surrey, with a Diploma of Higher Education in Psychology, four years of Psychotherapy training in Denmark and a specialist qualification in Grief Counselling. I am currently studying towards an MSc in End of Life Studies.

I established my clinical experience in Denmark, where I am a member of the Danish Psychotherapists’ Association. Now based in the UK, I am working towards UKCP registration.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in Gestalt psychotherapy, integrating existential and humanistic principles, with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship, individual autonomy and self-awareness.

My practice adheres to rigorous ethical and professional standards, supported by ongoing clinical supervision and a commitment to confidentiality, professional integrity and continuing professional development.

Specialised Support for Grief and Loss

Grief is not always associated with death. It can arise from the loss of relationships, health, identity or something deeply meaningful, including losses that others may not recognise or understand. Drawing on my specialist training and professional experience in grief counselling, I support individuals experiencing bereavement, anticipatory grief, serious illness and other forms of loss. My approach respects the uniqueness of each experience, offering space to explore grief without prescribed expectations or timelines.

Specialised Support for Life Transitions

Significant life changes, whether anticipated or unexpected, can challenge our sense of identity, relationships and direction. Drawing on my professional experience supporting individuals and families through challenging circumstances, I offer a thoughtful and collaborative approach to exploring uncertainty, understanding emotional responses and finding clarity during periods of change.

Specialised Support for Meaning and Personal Development

Therapy is not always about changing who we are. Sometimes, it is about understanding who we are and exploring who we have the potential to become. Grounded in humanistic and existential principles, I support individuals seeking greater self-awareness, exploring questions of identity, meaning and purpose, and considering how to live more authentically in accordance with their values.
