I’m Daniela Abedrabbo, and for over a decade I’ve supported people through transition, confusion, grief, identity shifts, relationships, and the deep life work of becoming who they truly are. My professional journey in counselling began from a place of lived experience — not just academic training — and has been shaped by my commitment to integrity, depth, and authentic connection with those I work with.

​

I have been stuck, lost, confused more than once, where I just did not know how to experience true joy and inner peace. I could not find my voice, speak my truth or choose powerfully what I wanted for myself.

 

I was born in Milan, raised in Abidjan, and my heritage — Palestinian (from Gaza) and Lebanese — carries with it stories of pain, injustice, suppression but also resilience, intergenerational strength, and survival in the face of oppression and collective trauma. This cultural heritage shapes the way I understand human life, its challenges, and how people evolve over time.​

​

Thanks to incredible practitioners, communities and various therapeutic modalities that I'm fortunate to  have been supported by, I continue to grieve and heal the pain connected to these cathartic experiences. I have also learned to recognize, trust and follow my intuition rather than act on the teachings and pressures of my external environment.​

 

This journey has completely transformed - and continues to transform - my relationship to myself and others into a more powerful, authentic and playful one. My experiences taught me understanding, compassion, curiosity and patience, allowing me to show up for others in a more nurturing and empowering way.

 

Today, I use my personal lived-experience and my professional expertise to help others revamp their lives and relationships.

 

With a background in Sales & Account Management, I spent many years building and nurturing relationships, which  had me realize how much I enjoy working with people. A decade later, I realized that my Marketing Diploma and Bachelor of Commerce no longer inspired me; so I decided to change careers and began my journey to becoming a registered counsellor.
