Counselling in WD23

Hello and a warm welcome to my page. My name is Silvia and I am an integrative counsellor. As a client you are unique and with that in mind, I draw from different theoretical approaches to build a tailor-made approach in my work with you. I understand that life can be challenging at times and asking for help can be daunting. I offer an empathic, confidential and non-judgemental space for us to explore together, the difficulties you are facing. The relationship that we build in the room is the most important aspect of the therapy.

I offer support around emotional or relationship difficulties as well as with personal development. I am particularly interested in working with symptoms of trauma. I offer an individually tailored approach utilising Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR). My aim is to empower and motivate clients and enable them to “become their own therapists”. I abide by the professional ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.

Are you feeling overwhelmed with the challenges off your day-to-day life? Do you have enough life experience to recognise the destructive patterns that may have held you back? Are you unsure how to change these patterns and concerned about the impacts they have, not only on yourself but also on the relationships in your life? A space outside of your current support network, to explore these challenges can not only be beneficial, but can also be a transformative experience. Therapy can offer not only a deeper understanding off oneself but also an exciting and challenging space for personal development, growth, and exploration.

If you are worried about your child or adolescent, as a fully qualified therapeutic counsellor for young people, I can help, so please do not feel alone. I offer a safe setting for therapy, where I work one on one in a warm and creative environment in areas such as the following: Trauma, Relationships, Transitions, Abuse, Sexuality, Self-esteem, Loss and Bereavement . Seeing a counsellor can help a young individual cope with difficult emotions and challenging behaviours. Over time they will understand and make sense of their feelings and experiences and build resilience and confidence.

My young clients suffer with depression, anxiety & PTSD, they tend to have a sense of not belonging. Through the build up of the therapeutic relationship, they will need empathic understanding from me & perhaps come CBT coping strategies depending on their presenting issues & most importantly, a sense of feeling heard. The goal is to work together to alleviate their suffering & aim towards making some sort of change in their lives to move past their issues. Clients will come to therapy for all sorts of reasons but mostly they will want to change something about themselves or their lives because they are unhappy in some way.

Hello. I am a friendly, experienced clinical psychologist / family therapist. I have been working with people with a range of psychological difficulties for over twenty years. I see adults, children and couples. My therapeutic approach is based on a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Systemic Therapy, If you are experiencing intense distress our work may either take the form of a more intensive, time-limited therapy to help you regain a sense of emotional balance. Equally we may work in a more explorative manner better suited to understanding more deep seated emotional difficulties.

Counselling is a confidential, safe space where the client is encouraged to think and talk about their inner most feelings without feeling judged. My role as your counsellor would be to help you manage these feelings and explore them to a much deeper level whilst giving you the autonomy to help you find your own personal solutions. An initial meeting/conversation will give us both an opportunity to see if we feel comfortable working together. Counselling can sometimes be a long and painful process, but with my help and experience I hope to help you process your thoughts and feelings in a safe space that is just for you.

You're probably wondering how you got here, searching through profiles to find the right person who can help you. Maybe you're feeling low, maybe life just feels all too difficult now. I can help you see a way through. We can work together, discovering what brought you here, at a pace that feels right for you.

When we experience difficulties in our life that are getting in the way, or if we are struggling, feeling overwhelmed, anxious or disconnected, counselling offers a quiet, non-judgemental safe space for us to work through painful thoughts, feelings and emotions. Embarking on counselling can allow us the opportunity to begin to explore the issues and concerns that are important to us, and begin to gain a better understanding so we can move forward.

Hello. I am aware that life can be hard sometimes, especially when we feel alone and confused with our thoughts and feelings – at times, we all need space to make sense of what is going on for us. I can offer you the time and space to be listened to and heard, to talk about your feelings and work through difficulties. Anxiety, stress and overthinking can all get in our way. Giving yourself the time you deserve to talk it through in a trusting, non-judgemental and confidential space is a good place to start.

As an integrative therapist, specialising in trauma, I work with young people & adults who need a warm, empathic and safe space to explore themselves and heal. Understanding yourself and your needs is crucial for building self esteem and self confidence. My clients are diverse, each with their own unique life experiences, whether it's ethnicity, gender identity, religion, sexuality, past or present trauma’s, phobias or race...thats just to name a few. As an immigrant to the UK, I have had first hand experiences and an understanding of how it can feel to be different. So I also understand how it feels to be judged or misunderstood.

I offer support for a range of emotional needs, including Depression and Anxiety. I am passionate about supporting people with issues around Food & Body Image, Bereavement, Loss and Trauma.

Are you consumed by thoughts about food and weight? Maybe the more you control your eating, the more you binge? You know dieting doesn't work, but you don't know what to do? Maybe you overeat in secret or alone and feel guilty about it? Perhaps you feel like you've tried everything to no avail? Maybe you feel like you're continually sabotaging yourself? I understand how you feel. I struggled with disordered eating for years and at the time didn't know what to do or where to turn for help. I help women overcome their unhealthy relationships with food by addressing the root causes of emotional eating and binge eating.

I have worked as a Counsellor for over 30 years and can help you if you are struggling with Relationship issues, Bereavement, Anxiety and Depression. I treat both adults and adolescents and am also interested in helping people who are generally struggling with their identity and finding meaning in life. I am a warm and approachable person and am happy to offer therapy via FaceTime, What’s App or Skype

Asking for help is not an easy step to take. The prospect of sharing your thoughts and feelings with someone else is quite a leap of faith and if you have not experienced counselling before you may be wondering what to expect. I would like to offer you a comfortable space where we can talk and get to know each other; and when you are ready, we can start to explore and make sense of your thoughts and personal difficulties, working entirely at your own pace. By exploring our past experiences and relationships we can often gain a new and fresh perspective on our issues which can lead to a deeper understanding of ourselves.

Life is complicated, sometimes full of challenges which can become easier to cope with when someone non-judgemental really listens to you, enabling you to navigate a way forward. I am able to offer a safe and confidential space for you to explore whatever difficulties you may be facing. I offer both short term therapy and longer open-ended work, the choice is yours. Each client is unique and I work according to your needs. I specialise in young people and adults, coping with the complexities life can throw, often causing anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
