While the challenges of modern life affect everyone in different ways, most life challenges are universal: balancing work and home life, changing jobs, starting a new life with a partner, parenting, dealing with loss, maintaining satisfactory and harmonious relationships with colleagues, friends, family... the list goes on. The aim of counselling sessions is to provide a safe space where clients experiencing difficulties in any aspect of their life can unburden themselves, discuss and explore issues of concern, and gain the skills to live a better, happier life, feeling better about themselves and the world around them.
Silvia's interest in mental health stems from a lived experience of post-natal depression, and a desire to help others to deal with life's challenges, loss, anxiety, and depression. She applies various modalities to suit a client's needs, with a strong focus on CBT (cognitive behaviour) and ACT therapies, as well as motivational interviewing techniques.
Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Silvia is a fluent Spanish speaker. She has worked as an interpreter and is a NAATI qualified translator, providing counselling in Spanish to clients from Spain and South American backgrounds. Her experience as a migrant provides an added layer of understanding to anyone born overseas, dealing with a new culture.

Each client is unique, as are their circumstances, so I apply mindfulness techniques and counselling modalities like CBT and ACT, among others, to help each individual with their specific emotional needs. Through narrative therapy, they are able to unburden themselves, seek clarity about their feelings, and we work together to find the best way to address the issues that brought them to therapy.

Therapy must be individualised, therefore I offer an eclectic approach depending on the needs of the client. I focus on Cognitive Behavioural Therapies (CBT) to challenge and change negative thoughts, as well as Positive Psychology to focus on a better future, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to manage negative emotions.
