Counselling & Psychotherapy in Clapham & Balham

Even when you do everything "right," familiar patterns can still return—showing up in your relationships, how you cope, or how you see yourself.
I'm Silvi Naskinova, a psychodynamic psychotherapist (MSc, MBACP). My work is about understanding why those patterns persist and helping you navigate them.
We don’t live or heal in isolation. When the world around us feels increasingly divided or heavy, that external friction often creeps indoors—shaping our anxieties, our relationships, and our sense of belonging. My practice is a grounded, LGBTQIA+ affirmative space welcoming people from cross-cultural backgrounds. Together, we can unpack both your inner landscape and the weight of the broader world you carry.
Whether you're seeking short-term, focused clarity or open-ended therapeutic depth, I offer a steady place to understand yourself, process collective and personal tensions, and find a lasting sense of self. I provide individual therapy and couples counselling online and in person from my practice in Balham, within easy reach of Balham and Clapham South stations.

Individual Therapy
Individual therapy provides a reflective space to explore and better understand your inner world. Through our conversation and curiosity, we look closely at the experiences, emotions, and long-standing patterns that influence your life. This deeper understanding can foster clarity, self-awareness, and a more authentic relationship with yourself and others.

Couples Counselling
Couples therapy provides a safe, collaborative space for partners to strengthen their connection, improve communication, and work through recurring challenges. Together, we explore patterns that may be getting in the way of closeness and create healthier ways of relating. Our aim is to create a more resilient relationship.

Getting Started
Perhaps a recent event has stirred complicated feelings, or you’ve lived with anxiety or difficult relationships for some time. Wherever you find yourself now, the initial consultation is a chance to speak openly about your concerns and see how we could work together. I also offer a free 15-minute intro call prior to booking your consultation, should you need it.
