“Dana’s energy is warm and welcoming, and it opened me more deeply to what she shared through the course. The greatest gain, which changed the quality of all the relationships in my life, was a new understanding of relationship: not as a concept, but as something with a life of its own, shaped by how I nourish it.”
Dana Dragomirescu
I arrived at relationships by following many living threads.
I am a relational communication counsellor through the ESPERE® Method (accreditation in progress), a Classical Psychodrama Director (accreditation in progress), a group facilitator and a long-time writer on relationships, emotions, parenting and personal development. I have shared life with my partner for 26 years and I am the mother of two children.
Who I am
I am fascinated by people and the relationships between them: the ways we seek one another, wound one another, repair and build something together. I have worked with symbols, myths and stories, with spaces, plants and, above all, people.
I did not arrive here in a straight line. Writing and communication, motherhood, community, work with nature and my own changes gradually gathered around the same question: how do we stay close without leaving ourselves?
My path
Experiences and training that gradually shaped the practice I hold today.
-
01 · Community
I began by bringing people and ideas into relationship.
Years of online communication, editorial projects and initiatives for parents, children and communities taught me to listen not only to the message, but to the relationship it creates. Environmental and conservation work made interdependence tangible.
-
02 · Communication and relationships
Relationships can be learned, practised and changed.
Training in the ESPERE® Method gave me a clear framework for understanding relational dynamics and how communication can nourish, block or transform a relationship. Years of practice, supervision and continued learning deepened this work and showed me how concretely relationships can change when we learn to listen, express ourselves and take a different position.
-
03 · Classical psychodrama
Some things become clear only when they take on a body and a place.
Training in Classical Psychodrama gave me a way to work one to one, and especially with groups, with the complexity of being human, relational interdependence and personal life stories. An experience can be told, but it can also be placed in the room, viewed from another position and related to differently.
-
04 · Plants and living art
Working with plants taught me not to hurry what is growing.
Through installations with moss, plants and natural materials, I worked with fragility, rhythm and care. Nature does not enter as decorative metaphor, but as an experience of boundaries, space and relationships among living things.
-
05 · The practice today
All these threads now lead to real conversations.
In sessions and groups I use relational communication, psychodrama, symbolic work and attention to the body. The method changes with the person and situation; the frame, consent and respect for each person’s rhythm remain.
Living art
I believe in the authentic rhythms of life — in relationships, in the body, in our inner world and in our connection with nature. I believe in truth, healthy boundaries, gentleness as a form of strength, and the simple things that help us return to ourselves.
How I work
What you can expect from me
-
A clear and safe frame
I create a structured space where you can speak and explore at your own pace. I explain what I suggest and why, and you can accept, decline or ask us to work differently. Your safety, trust and autonomy are part of the process.
-
More than a conversation
We do more than talk about what is happening. Through questions, symbols, visualisation, the body or staging a situation, I invite you to listen to yourself and see from other perspectives. At times I will gently challenge you to approach what is harder to face, without forcing the process.
-
Your answers, carried into real life
I do not tell you what to choose or look for solutions in your place. I offer questions, perspectives and tools that can help you hear your own answers. You do not have to “solve” everything in one session, but I want you to leave with something concrete you can use in daily life.
From participants’ experience
What remains after the meeting has ended.
-
“The ESPERE Method helped me understand relational dynamics more clearly and brought clarity to my closest relationships. I learned that I can express my truth without violence, speaking from my own end of the relationship. Dana is warm, empathetic and gentle, and her real-life examples helped me greatly.”
-
“I learned to recognise both sides of a relationship, where each person has their own needs, boundaries and perceptions. The ESPERE Method gave me useful tools, and I now know I can choose what to do with the messages I receive in a conversation. Thank you, Dana, for the naturalness and clarity you brought to our work.”
-
“I wholeheartedly recommend Dana Dragomirescu for the warmth, clarity and depth of connection she brings. Her individual and group relationship work is illuminating and effective, and she brings great richness to her work with women.”
-
“I recommend Dana. Because of her, I opened my eyes to inner places I had ignored for as long as I can remember.”
-
“Dana is warm and attentive to everyone in the group, guiding people with professionalism and empathy. She naturally created a safe and welcoming environment. The meetings brought me valuable answers and equally valuable questions. Thank you for your gentle, understanding presence.”
