More about Silvia

On many occasions we are able to deal with what life throws at us. But occasionally we come to a point when we need a bit more - a bit of help untangling what’s happening in order to move forward.

Over the last 10 years I've enjoyed working with people from different walks of life and diverse issues, including anxiety, stress, self-esteem, relationship issues, loss, conflict resolution or assisting towards personal or professional development. I offer a safe, confidential space to work on a short or long-term basis. We can focus on exploring coping strategies with a particular issue, or explore your personal history to understand how this impacted or is still impacting your life.

My particular interest is in relationships and communication - how we relate to one another and ourselves. Many of our issues stem from relationships, past or current, and the one we have with ourselves.

I am qualified in Transactional Analysis (TA) Counselling. TA provides many models which I frequently share with clients to deepen understanding of their personality, relationships and communication.

However the way I work has been influenced by other modalities over the years and I would use these at times according to client's needs.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
