Therapy With Daniella

Hi, I’m Daniella Doon-Joseph, a BABCP accredited Psychotherapist and mum of two.

I specialise in supporting women in their journey to motherhood and beyond; and helping parents of children with food allergies to thrive.

One thing I’m doing more of this year is BAKING🧁

When my daughter was diagnosed with multiple food allergies (dairy, eggs, peanuts and tree nuts) as a baby, I chose to make cakes with the lemons life handed me. By no means am I a fancy baker … but I have learned to make some delicious allergy-friendly treats.

So when I was asked to contribute to a couple months ago on hobbies to your wellbeing, I spoke from the heart ❤️

I’d love if you could share in the comments what hobbies or activities lift your spirits ☺️

And if you’re an allergy parent yourself, I’d love for you to share with me any recipe accounts you follow 🍽️

Whether you’re settling in on your couch for family movie night, having a meal out or trying to quietly slip out of your little one’s room undetected, take a moment this weekend to ask yourself this one question:

What do I want to connect more with this year
🪫 what drains me?
or
🔋 what energizes me?

And hold in mind …
💡 what lights you up
⚖️ what weighs you down

As a therapist, I know it’s not as easy as to “pick a side” but when I heard this song it reminded me of the choice point (a concept from Acceptance & Commitment Therapy I often talk about in sessions): a moment in time when you can choose behavior that moves you toward your values or behavior or one that moves you away from them ✨

Let me know if this resonates with you ☺️

As we step into 2026, I’m not making resolutions. Because honestly, they just add more pressure and stress.

Instead, I’m thinking about what I want to hold close.

Like continuing to be intentional, choosing to be present and nurturing connections that feel aligned. Building a life and a private practice rooted in my values where authenticity shines through.

So, I invite you to take a moment to ask yourself:
What am I choosing to hold close this year?

I’d love to hear what matters most to you as we begin this new chapter.

Sending each of you good vibes and intentions as always,
Daniella

Wishing you and your loved ones a safe festive season! I’m now out of office and will be back in on 5 January✨

11/12/2025

On my final working day of 2025, just taking a moment to pause and reflect.

It’s been a year of:
👩🏾‍💻working with some wonderful clients
🫶🏽making space for all the feelings and tricky thoughts
☀️leaning into bravery
✨doing new things
📚expanding my clinical toolkit
🪴continuing to shape my values-based practice
❤️connecting with some women & communities

Hindsight bias is a hell of a thing, so as you reflect on the past 12 months give yourself credit for all the little things because together they are meaningful 💪🏽

Remember to lean into the present moment - it’s the greatest gift; and wishing you all an intentional 2026✨

Warmly,
Daniella

🎄✨ Making Christmas Safe & Inclusive for Everyone ✨🎄

The holidays should be joyful for everyone – including those managing food allergies. Whether you’re hosting or attending gatherings, small considerations make a huge difference.

Swipe through for practical tips on creating allergy-friendly celebrations, safety reminders, and amazing recipe accounts to follow!

From a CBT lens: if you have allergies, remember that protecting your health isn’t being “difficult” – it’s essential self-care. Your needs are valid, and the right people will always make space for them. 💚

If you’re hosting: a little extra care shows immense love. Ask about allergies, read labels carefully, and prevent cross-contamination. Your thoughtfulness creates belonging.

Let’s make this season inclusive, safe, and full of joy for ALL. ❤️

A warm hello on this cool Monday! It’s just 1 month until Santa’s on his way 🎅🏽

I noticed that some of you have found my little corner of insta - I’m so glad you’re here - so I thought I’d share a little bit about myself, but the human side ☺️

I love a good dance party in my kitchen with my daughters so drop your fav songs in the comments 🪩🕺🏽💃🏾

Wishing you all a lovely week ahead!

Warmly,
Daniella

Taking a moment to reflect on this past week - it was really tough as I was struggling with a cold courtesy school germs and it was also filled with some pretty meaningful moments:
📖 providing clinical supervision
👩🏽‍💻 1:1 therapy sessions
🎉 celebrating a final session with a client
☕️ welcoming a new client
🧠 EMDR supervision
🤱🏽 providing our weekly group session on .app
🍿Friday night movie night with my family

The highlight was attending the Equitable Bereavement Care Conference as an exhibitor. It was wonderful meeting such incredible women and organisations sharing the same passion and drive. I gave out tea bags and loom bands that my daughter very kindly made - and encouraged everyone to make time for a mindful cuppa. Thank you and for creating this vital space.

Time goes by so fast and sometimes on weeks like these when I’ve been poorly it can feel like I’m just a coughing machine - which is I take some time to reflect on my week, the tricky bit and the lovely bits because these are the moments in our lives.

Sending you good intentions as always ✨

Your therapy journey should feel like it’s actually yours.

Every 4-6 sessions, I’ll pause to check in and ask: “How is this going for you? Is what we’re doing helpful? What would make this better?”

Because here’s the thing - therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and what works really well for one person might not land for another. Your honest feedback isn’t just welcome, it’s essential.

These check-ins aren’t just to talk about what’s working well, they’re also about making sure YOU feel heard, supported, and like we’re genuinely moving toward what matters to you.

Therapy works best when it’s a partnership. So if something’s not feeling right, if you’re stuck, or if you’re wondering “is this even helping?” - I want to know as then we can find what actually works for YOU.

You deserve therapy that feels like it fits✨

Curious about what our first therapy session might look like? Here’s what to expect and what you can do to prepare✨

08/11/2025

As the leaves turn yellow, orange, red and brown it’s been a lovely reminder of how sometimes things change - and like Olaf & Anna sang “some things never change”.

We can get caught up in the struggle of trying to control everything - and that can be exhausting.

So today, I invite you to take a moment to notice and choose to reconnect to the present moment for a few breaths🍂
