About me
Hi, I'm Sylvia
Are you carrying a lot right now, but finding it hard to put into words, or to know where to start? Maybe you’re juggling family expectations, work, relationships, or the pressure to have life figured out in your 20s and 30s, and you’d like to feel more at ease with yourself.
I’m a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist (BACP), and I offer a space where you can talk about the difficult things at your own pace, without needing to have it all sorted first. I work online, so you can join from wherever you feel most at ease. Reaching out isn’t easy, and I’m honoured you’re considering it.
Who I work with
I work with adults, especially in their 20s and 30s, who are navigating things like family and cultural dynamics, identity, body image and beauty standards, relationships, and big life changes. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed or unsure of your next step, we can work through it together.
How I work
My approach is integrative, drawing on person-centred and humanistic practices. Sessions are collaborative: we’ll work out together what helps, whether that’s talking things through, slowing down to notice what’s coming up, or making sense of old patterns. You set the pace, and your goals guide the work.
Often, what brings someone to therapy is only the surface of something deeper. Rather than rushing to fix things, we’ll take the time to understand what’s underneath and where it began.
I believe the connection between client and therapist is at the heart of the work. I aim to be myself in the space, and I hope you’ll feel able to do the same.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
