Daiga Millere, BACP

Daiga Millere uses straightforward, evidence-based approaches to help people find clearer ways forward. She is a counsellor with a BACP registration and she speaks English, Latvian and Russian. Daiga aims to make the therapy room calm and direct so people can talk about what matters to them.

She focuses on common problems such as stress and anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and grief. She also helps with self-esteem, motivation, intimacy-related issues, anger, parenting concerns, career questions, coping with life changes and ADHD-related challenges. Sessions are practical and paced to match each person’s needs.

In sessions Daiga encourages honest conversation and realistic steps. She listens for patterns, helps name difficult feelings and tests out small changes that can improve daily life. The tone is supportive but purpose-driven, with clear goals set together.

Daiga has seven years of experience working with people from different backgrounds. She combines that experience with plain language and simple techniques that people can use between sessions. Work is done in a collaborative way so people keep control of the pace and direction.

People can expect a professional who speaks multiple languages and who helps make the process less daunting. Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and build practical skills for dealing with problems now and in the future.

How therapeutic approaches translate into online sessions

Daiga works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that aim to reduce symptoms and build coping skills. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing alternative thoughts; this helps with anxiety, low mood and self-esteem by teaching practical ways to respond to difficult moods. Another approach emphasises processing difficult experiences through paced conversations and grounding strategies; this can help people managing trauma, grief and intense emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and adapt methods to the client’s goals and preferences. Clients and the counsellor decide together what to try and review progress regularly so the plan stays useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face connection from different locations. Phone sessions can be shorter and easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer written check-ins or want flexibility across time zones. These formats make it easier to access regular support and to keep therapy consistent around work, family and travel commitments.
