About me

Hey! I'm Sylvia and I'm a qualified counsellor and psychotherapist (BACP). I help and support individuals in their 20's and 30's to process, discover themselves, heal and thrive.

I know making the decision to start therapy can be a difficult one, I'm honoured you've taken the first step. Sometimes it can be difficult to express ourselves or even know where to start. Therapy is a collaborative process where together, we will find the right approach for you to talk about the difficult things while prioritising your needs and therapeutic goals.

My approach is integrative, drawing from person-centered, humanistic, and mindfulness techniques. I'm committed to supporting you on your unique path of self-discovery, helping you untangle the barriers that is setting you back whilst helping you reflect on the right decisions for yourself. 

The client-therapist connection is crucial, built on trust and open communication. I aim to be authentically myself, and it's equally important that you feel comfortable doing the same.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

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.
