Silvia Correia Psychodynamic Psychotherapist london E8Silvia Correia:

Trainee Psychodynamic Psychotherapist (BACP Student Member)

My name is Silvia Correia and I am a trainee psychodynamic psychotherapist working face-to-face and online at HQ Therapy Rooms, offering weekly low-cost therapy in Dalston and Haggerston, to short-term and/or long-term clients.

I am currently in my third year of an MA in Psychotherapy and Psychodynamic Counselling at Goldsmiths University, and I am also a student member of the BACP, adhering to their ethical guidelines. Previous to this, I achieved a Postgraduate Certificate in Psychodynamic and Humanistic Counselling, also at Goldsmiths University.

For the past year, I have been working in a Primary School, counselling children from the ages of 6-11 with issues ranging from domestic abuse and neglect to developmental issues. I was able to use a mix of empathy, active listening and play therapy to help my child clients with the problems they were facing.

Through working with children, I saw firsthand how essential it is to regulate a person’s emotions and behaviours so that things don’t become more challenging.

Being able to speak to an impartial other about the difficulties you are experiencing can help rationalise thoughts and validate feelings you may not believe you are able to feel. It can help process where and why those feelings and thoughts arise.

It is why I truly believe that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most important parts of why therapy works, and why it is crucial that you find the right therapist for you.

My approach is predominantly Psychodynamic in nature but having done an Integrative PG previous to this, I tend to tailor my approach to an individual’s needs and I lead with empathy first and foremost. I aim to provide clients with a confidential, supportive and non-judgemental environment so that they can speak freely about their innermost thoughts and feelings, and whatever they may be experiencing, at their own pace.

Opening yourself up to honest communication can be really difficult so I aim to make this as easy and stress-free as possible for my clients.

Having been in therapy for many years, I too understand how challenging this first step may be, but like me, I hope you are able to see the benefits it will bring to your life, your perspectives and your relationships.

I am currently available for in-person and online sessions on Sundays between 4-7 pm, and I look forward to meeting you and doing the work together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why Should I Seek Therapy?

Many people, new to this type of help, believe that they need to be suffering from “mental illness” or serious “psychological problems”, or be in crisis in order for therapy and counselling to be appropriate for them. This is a common misconception; anyone can benefit from therapy when it comes to helping you deal with your personal feelings and problems, make positive changes in your life, and understand yourself better.

So what is therapy and counselling? If you’re new to this world then the first steps can sometimes be the most difficult. Therapy can be a very effective treatment for a whole range of personal problems covering areas from physical and emotional problems, different types of behavioural disorders, through to human sexuality issues and a host of wellbeing and complementary therapy techniques.

Any problem you have that is causing you concern, anxiety or distress is a valid and appropriate reason to reach out and find a therapist and talk to them about it. Far from something to be ashamed of, acknowledging your vulnerability and asking for help is a sign of maturity and strength.

If you feel that you have a desire and are committed to making changes in your life in order to overcome your current problems and achieve more long-term satisfaction, psychological wellbeing and personal fulfilment, then you are ready to seek therapy. We are here to help you work through a wide range of therapy issues that might be troubling you.

Will Information About Me Be Safe & Secure?

It is quite normal to be hesitant when it comes to sharing private and intimate information about yourself with a stranger. You may fear that you will receive judgment from your therapist, or that your therapist will share your details with others.

HQ Therapy Rooms takes your privacy and confidentiality very seriously. Our therapists are required to keep everything said in therapy sessions between you, just like your doctor is required to keep your records private.

For therapy to be effective, there must be unconditional trust built between you and your therapist, and this relies on a shared understanding of confidentiality. It applies to the outside world as well: it is standard practice for therapists not to acknowledge their clients if they run into them outside of the therapy rooms in order to help protect their client’s confidentiality. Read our full privacy policy for more information.

Can I Contact You For Advice About Getting Therapy?

Talking about your thoughts and feelings with a supportive therapist can often make you feel better and help you face your problems. It feels good to be listened to and to know that someone cares about you and wants to help. It is important that you find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable and can build a trusting relationship to help you make positive changes in your life.

But how do you know what type of therapy is right for you? Taking the first steps in finding the right therapist can be the biggest hurdle for newcomers, so we have made it easy. Simply get in touch with us using the low-cost help and advice form and one of our fully qualified therapists can work with you to make sure you get the right advice you need in order to receive the correct low-cost therapy and counselling services you require.
