Psychological Services
Dr Daniel Silva offers specialist psychological assessment, formulation and therapy, providing a thoughtful, collaborative approach tailored to each person's individual circumstances, concerns and goals.
Working together
Dr Silva’s approach to therapy balances understanding and change. Feeling heard, understood and validated is central to this process: knowing that your therapist understands your experiences can help you feel safe enough to explore difficulties and accept support.
​
From this foundation, therapy also creates space for change, finding new perspectives, trying different approaches and taking steps towards what matters to you. Drawing on evidence-based therapies, Dr Silva supports you through this process, balancing warmth and acceptance with encouragement and thoughtful challenge, at a pace that respects your needs while helping you work towards your goals.
Psychological Assessment
A psychological assessment provides an opportunity to explore your concerns, personal history and current difficulties. Dr Silva takes time to understand your individual circumstances and develop a shared understanding of your needs, helping to identify appropriate recommendations and next steps.
Individual Psychological Therapy
Early sessions help identify recurring patterns and consider how your experiences, relationships and current circumstances may be contributing to how you feel.
​
Dr Silva takes an integrative approach, drawing on different evidence-based psychological therapies to shape treatment around your needs. Sessions may involve making sense of experiences, processing difficult memories, developing practical skills or trying new ways of responding to familiar challenges. There is room to reflect on what is helping and adjust the focus as your needs and priorities evolve.
Couples Assessment and Therapy
Couples work looks beyond individual disagreements to the feelings, needs and expectations beneath them. The initial assessment helps clarify where you feel stuck, what you value in your relationship and what you each want from support.
​
In therapy, Dr Daniel Silva helps you slow down difficult conversations, notice how you respond to one another and communicate what may be hard to put into words. The focus is on finding ways to navigate differences, repair moments of disconnection and make considered decisions about your relationship and its future.
