View Credentials
Dr Daniel Silva, Consultant Clinical Psychologist and Neuropsychologist, specialising in psychological assessment, therapy and neuropsychological assessment.

Dr Silva’s approach is shaped by a longstanding interest in how the brain, cognition, emotions, relationships and life experiences influence one another. His experience across specialist neurorehabilitation, acute stroke services, community neuropsychology, inpatient neuropsychiatry and complex mental health care enables him to work with difficulties that may not fit neatly within a purely neurological or psychological explanation.

Professional Approach

Bringing together psychological models and an understanding of how the brain works, Dr Silva considers the whole person rather than symptoms or test results in isolation.

Dr Silva aims to offer a warm, thoughtful and non-judgemental space, while bringing the clinical rigour needed to develop a clear understanding and identify practical, meaningful ways forward.
