About

Silvi Naskinova (she/her) MSc, PG Cert, MBACP

I offer psychodynamic therapy for individuals and couples, creating a thoughtful, compassionate space to explore the deeper patterns that shape your relationships and sense of self.

This approach looks at how past and present experiences and unconscious dynamics influence the way you feel, communicate, and connect today. Together, we will reflect on recurring difficulties, unresolved conflicts, or emotional themes that may be impacting your life. The aim is to support greater self-awareness, clarity, and more meaningful, fulfilling relationships — both with yourself and others. Our work is collaborative and non-judgmental. Sessions are guided by what feels most important to you, offering a safe space to speak freely and explore at your own pace.

My practice is inclusive and welcoming to people from all backgrounds, including the LGBTQI+ community and those navigating cultural or racial differences. I offer a supportive environment to explore identity and its place within the wider communities in which you live..

Feeling real is more than existing, it is finding a way to exist as oneself…
— D.W. Winnicott
