More about Silvia

  • 10 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am an integrative counsellor, I draw on a variety of therapeutic approaches to create sessions that are uniquely tailored to your needs. I offer a safe and compassionate space where you will feel truly seen and heard. With full presence, empathy, and curiosity, I will support you in exploring your inner world. Together, we can work with playfulness, creativity, inquisitiveness and humour at times, as you embark on your journey toward healing and personal growth.

A holistic approach to therapy honours the interconnectedness of all aspects of a person’s being—physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Somatic inquiry & processing helps shift feelings, allowing them to move, transform, and be managed in a safe and supported way. This process allows the work to continue in your everyday life, beyond the therapy setting.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
