I embarked on a training course back in 2000. During my training, I had to attend several experiential days and many weekends which gave me a huge self awareness and understanding of myself. This together with my serious commitment to training enabled me to become a successful counsellor.
I studied the Carl Rogers Person Centred Approach which encompasses the 3 Core Conditions of Congruence (genuineness, openness & honesty), Empathy (the ability to walk in someone elses world) and Unconditional Positive Regard (non judgemental and respecting feelings).Part of the course criteria was to personally receive 40 hours of Person Centred Counselling, which I far exceeded.

Sylvia is a supportive and thoughtful counsellor. She is a very good listener and is able to draw out anxieties and worries and encourage one to face them but at your own pace. Sylvia sets realistic incremental targets, which encourages the client's sense of achievement. Above all, Sylvia is mindful of client confidentiality. I am very grateful for the help Sylvia gave to me and my family.

A very warm and welcoming attitude towards her profession. During my sessions with Sylvia in 2019 I never felt as though there was any judgement towards me or what I was there to talk about and felt safe to speak to her. She helped me to figure out different coping mechanisms and exercises in order to help control my depression. I would highly recommend.
