Steve Silverton Psychotherapy Stoke Newington | Psychotherapist in North London

If you're feeling depressed, anxious or struggling, psychotherapy can be a source of support and renewal. Taking time to choose the right therapist is important. I've been a UKCP accredited psychotherapist since 2003, working with all kinds of issues and all kinds of people. You're welcome to come to see me for help with a specific problem - depression, anxiety, relationship problems, bereavement, etc - or because you want to explore and grow and see where the process takes you.

In our fast and inattentive culture, a space to slow down and listen to ourselves has become even more valuable. Practices that we might draw on - depending on what works for you - include Mindfulness, Focusing, dreamwork, and artwork, as well as careful exploration of current life dilemmas and issues.

Sessions are usually once a week, for 50 minutes, at the same time and on the same day. I offer a free Introductory call in which we can explore whether working with me might be right for you.

Supervision

I am a UKCP recognised supervisor and offer supervision to psychotherapists and counsellors in Stoke Newington, London N16. Sessions by Facetime/Zoom etc are also possible.

I have worked as a supervisor since 2009 and over that time I have supervised counsellors and therapists working in a variety of therapeutic modalities, for Mind, on various counselling and therapy courses and in private practice, both 1:1 and in groups.

I support a pluralistic view of psychotherapy which is non-dogmatic and respectful of different working modalities.

About Me

I work in a way that's attentive to you, unhurried, and non-prescriptive. I don't think there's one right way to do therapy, so I try to let what's useful for each person guide how we work together. My first training was in Core Process Psychotherapy in the 1990s. This is a mindfulness-based approach, which cultivates present-moment awareness as a way to work with what's difficult and to become freer from that, as well to access innate joy and aliveness, so that we can live more creatively and skilfully. Other trainings have included Supervision (I have worked for Mind, supervising groups of Counsellors since 2017). I've also trained in Focusing and working with the arts and writing in therapy.
