Dafina helped us to understand why we might react the way we do to certain things and how to react to and understand each other’s feelings a bit better
Dafina has such a friendly and calming personality that I felt immediately at ease when initially talking to her.
Therapy with Dafina

She has a special ability to quickly build rapport, so you’ll feel understood and supported from the very first session.
