Neurodivergent therapist and LGBTQIA+ affirming - Violet Psychology

Hi! My name is Silvia and I am a Health Psychologist specialised in Gender Equality.

I have experience working with neurodivergent late-diagnosed adults. I work in Dublin at the moment, offering the option of online or face to face sessions (Dublin 14 or Dublin 02).

I am a member of the LGBTQIA+ community and I am neurodivergent, so I have a particular interest working with those groups, but I am open to work with you, whoever you are and wherever you are on your journey.

I create a therapeutic space neuro-diversity and LGBTQIA+ affirming where we can explore different oppressions (race, class, age, gender, sexuality…) along with what brought you to therapy and how is affecting your life. I work from a transfeminist perspective, creating a therapeutic space that is LGBTQIA+ affirming and neurodiversity affirming. Here, we can collaboratively explore various oppressions, such as race, class, age, gender, and sexuality, and understand how they may be impacting your life. I strongly believe in social justice, advocacy, and reducing power imbalances.

I believe clients are experts of their own life, so it is really important for me to see the world from your lens, understand how you are feeling and what you are going through so we can work together in whatever is that you need: understanding thoughts, feelings, managing emotions or changing certain behaviours.

I am aware that different individuals would need different approaches, so I work from an integrative perspective using distinct tools like Person Centred therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Mindfulness and some elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

I hold a Degree in Psychology from the University of Salamanca, a Master’s Degree in Gender Equality from the University of Santiago de Compostela and a Master’s Degree in Health Psychology from the Distance University of Madrid. I am studying for a Master’s Degree in Pluralistic Counselling and Psychotherapy with the Institute of Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy (IICP).

I offer therapy in English or Spanish.

Please, feel free to send me an email/whatsapp with any questions you might have or if you are interested in booking an appointment.
