How I Work
I have a warm, thoughtful style, and experience in varied circumstances and stages of life.
My overarching aim is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space to explore your experience in depth, while drawing on my professional skills and expertise to guide a therapeutic process aimed at meaningful change.
There is more to psychological and emotional health than symptom-reduction.
Alleviating the symptoms of distress is an important part of any therapy process. But in my experience, people find therapy most helpful when it goes beyond symptom-reduction, to address deeper, more personal aspects of life. For example, the ability to form and nurture fulfilling relationships; the need to grieve and mourn; to find meaning and purpose; the ability to play and rest; to work; to make conscious choices; to experience and express a range of emotions; to be alone. Each - and sometimes all - of these aspects of life can become the subject of change sought and experienced in therapy.

“I’m very happy to recommend Daniel Silver. I was full of trepidation before my first session as I’d never really attended therapy before. Daniel put my mind at ease and was very easy to talk to. He has really helped me to move forward in my life and reframe my thinking after many years of trying to ignore past situations that had negatively impacted on me.”
