“Individual therapy can feel very daunting. It takes a lot of courage and vulnerability to share your story with a professional. It is a privilege that I don't take for granted in my work.”
Silvia’s Approach
Silvia offers a warm, collaborative space where you can feel safe, heard and supported. She understands that beginning therapy takes courage and she values the trust clients place in her. Silvia works at your pace, balancing practical strategies with deeper exploration and regularly checks in to ensure sessions are aligned with your goals.
Silvia primarily works within an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework, supporting clients to build psychological flexibility and live in line with their values. She also integrates a range of other evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Schema Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and Motivational Interviewing, to tailor therapy to your individual needs.
