I’m happy you’ve found me here.

I’m Daniela Cristofaro, a Somatic Psychotherapist and Somatic Sexologist who loves supporting individuals and couples.

My work brings together two areas I care deeply about: Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy (especially Hakomi Therapy) and Sex & Relationship Therapy.

Some people come to me because something around sexuality, intimacy or relationships has become difficult.

Others come simply because they are drawn to somatic therapy for anxiety, sensitivity, overwhelm, shame, incessant self-criticism, attachment or trauma-related patterns, or because they understand themselves well conceptually but still find themselves caught in familiar ways of feeling and reacting.

Hakomi uses mindfulness and the body to study the often-unconscious patterns that organise our experience and creates opportunities for transformation. My approach is gentle, collaborative and experiential, so we can move between conversation and embodied exploration depending on what feels useful to you.

I describe myself as open-minded, grounded and curious. My practice is culturally sensitive, neuro-affirming, sex-positive, gender-inclusive and LGBTQ+ affirming.

I primarily work in English but can offer sessions in Italian, Spanish and Portuguese.

I look forward to meeting you!
