Silja Turville

I have availability for in person and online sessions. 

I work relationally to help each client feel fully seen and understood. I work collaboratively with clients to make sense of what is going on and what this may mean.

I help you to access compassion and acceptance to find respite and new ways of looking at the challenges that life can bring for us.

In the early stages of working together, we may focus on what is challenging right now and ways to help you manage in the moment and stay regulated. In longer term working, we could also look at the impact of past relational and other experiences to identify how these could be shaping your feelings today to enable you to make different choices about coping strategies. For many clients, especially neurodivergent clients, the focus may include considering changes in the environment around the client to make life easier.

My areas of specialism include anxiety, working with attachment styles, bereavement, depression, trauma, neurodivergence affirming therapy, and working with parents or carers of children or adults with additional support needs.

I work on a short and long term basis depending upon what is most helpful for the client

Before arranging a first session, I suggest a free initial 15 minute conversation online or by phone to discuss how we might work together. 

In our first session we would explore your hopes and goals for therapy and what has brought you to therapy at this time. We explore what has helped you to manage up to now and how you would like your life to be.
