Aurora Silva

I am currently unable to take new clients until June 15, 2023 

Many of the people I see deal with the effects of childhood trauma. The traumas might have been emotional, physical, mental, sexual, or spiritual, and any of these aspects of self may be affected.

Having worked with such a diversity of people over a long time, I work in a client-centred way, incorporating integrative approaches, depending on the most appropriate.

As a supervisor, I provide the trainee counsellor room to work with the client, helping them to understand the client from different perspectives; I keep monitoring the counsellor’s work and exploring the working alliance.

I am a friendly and committed person with experience in dealing with many people in stressful situations. I have no prejudice against any race, culture, disability, or religion.

I have an empathetic approach to my clients based on confidentiality and trust. In a session, I create a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients are made to feel valued, understood, listened to, and free to express and explore any concerns.

I take my work seriously and trust my client to take an active role in their journey.

My work has been varied across various areas:

mental health

couples & families

addictions, and

Young people

I offer a free initial 20 mins assessment session either by phone or on-line

Available weekdays, evenings and weekends

I am a counsellor with over 15 years of experience, qualified to a degree level in Person-centred Counselling; obtained through Middlesex University, I established my counselling services called "Need to Talk, " a charity-funded organisation.

I am a Register Member of BACP, and I conform to the BACP code of ethics.
