Hello, my name is Silvia - thank you for taking the time for reading my profile. I am an integrative-relational counsellor with experience of working with adults facing a variety of life challenges. I aim to offer a safe and comfortable space for you to explore and navigate current and longstanding difficulties and your inner world, to support you to live a more choiceful and fulfilling life.
About me and my practice
My therapeutic modality is integrative-relational.
This means that I see the relationship between you and me, counsellor and client, as a key component in our work together: our relationship becomes the holder of the therapeutic process through which exploration, insight and change can occur. We will work cooperatively to create a space of mutual trust, in which you can experience both nurture and challenge.
By working 'integratively' I draw upon elements, ideas and ways of understanding your experiences from psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive schools of thought: this supports me to tailor my way of being and supporting you to your presenting needs and preferences.
I strive to make my style of working authentic and client-led. I recognise how the past can have an impact on current wellbeing: as we focus on your present, we will also work together to consider how, through past experiences, you have become the person you are today. If appropriate, I incorporate elements of mindfulness into my practice.
