I am currently available for weekly in-person sessions on Fridays from 6pm-8pm at HQ Haggerston, or online Tuesday and Wednesday evenings from 6-9pm.

Hi! I'm Silvia, a psychodynamic psychotherapist working at HQ Therapy Rooms in Haggerston and online. By the age of 18, I had lived in seven countries. Growing up as a Third Culture Kid made me adaptable and resilient, but it also gave me firsthand experience of what it’s like to feel different, to search for belonging, and to manage uncertainty. These experiences shape my work and help me connect with clients who may be navigating change, identity, or a sense of being misunderstood.

Before becoming a therapist, I spent ten years in the advertising industry, leading teams in demanding, fast-paced environments. That background has given me a real understanding of organisational life, workplace stress, and the ways our professional and personal selves often collide.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in psychodynamic thinking, but I also draw from integrative and humanistic ideas depending on what each client needs. I always lead with empathy first. My aim is to create a space where you feel safe to explore your thoughts and emotions freely—without judgement, at your own pace. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you; it’s about helping you make sense of your experiences, recognise your patterns, and feel more grounded in who you are.

I work with adults and young people on a wide range of issues including anxiety, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, domestic abuse, and life transitions.

Having worked with children in the past, I’ve seen how important emotional regulation and self-understanding are from an early age. This perspective informs the way I support adults who may still be carrying the weight of earlier experiences into their present lives.

You can expect me to listen closely, reflect with care, and work alongside you in making sense of your experiences.

I believe therapy works best when there is a genuine connection between therapist and client. That’s why I offer a 15 minute introductory call so you can get a feel for how I work and decide if I’m the right fit for you.
