Aviva Counselling in Sidcup
Dr Schreiber is a qualified clinical psychologist and psychodynamic psychotherapist with an interest in understanding emotional distress in the context of past and current life events and experiences in relationships.
As such, she understands distress as inter- and intrapersonal conflicts. Therapy can provide a space for these conflicts to be explored, understood and, hopefully, let go of.
Sociocultural and political context are important in making sense of distress; therefore, part of therapy can also be to explore autonomy, and where patients can have an impact on their lives, as well as the limitations to this.

Do you feel constantly on edge, overthinking or worried that something bad is going to happen?
Anxiety can leave you avoiding situations, pushing through exhaustion, feeling overwhelmed, self-critical, and disconnected from yourself.
I specialise in working with people experiencing anxiety-related difficulties, including excessive worry, social anxiety, panic attacks, OCD, phobias, stress and low self-esteem. I also support people who have been affected by traumatic or difficult life experiences, where anxiety, fear or hypervigilance have become hard to manage and are impacting daily life.

You might feel constantly anxious - tense, on edge, or caught in worry.
Or you might feel low, flat, and unsure how to find joy again.
Some women come to us feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns in relationships or worn down by people-pleasing or self-criticism. Others are processing trauma or navigating big life changes - from early motherhood to menopause - that have unsettled their confidence. However it shows up, the common thread is emotional overload whilst trying to hold it all together. If you're a woman who wants to feel calmer, more secure in yourself, and able to enjoy life without so much pressure, then we're here for you.

Everyone faces challenges from time to time. This is important and helps us to grow and develop our resilience and wellbeing. However, sometimes life can feel tricky for prolonged periods of time and can leave us feeling overwhelmed and worried that things may never get any better. A clinical psychologist can support us to better understand the social, emotional and/or behavioural difficulties we are experiencing. They can help us to develop our own resilience by introducing new ways of thinking about and managing situations that leaves us feeling less troubled and more content.

The path of life can be challenging. We may find ourselves navigating relationship difficulties or loneliness, feeling unfulfilled at work or without work, or experiencing anxiety, or panic attacks, loss, depression, or anger. At times, these burdens become so overwhelming that we feel stuck, distressed, or even lost, and we come to a point when we might need help to find a way through these difficulties.
My work is grounded in the understanding that much of what shapes our feelings, thoughts, and behaviours lies beneath the surface—within our unconscious.
