Steve Silverton Psychotherapy Stoke Newington | Psychotherapist in North London

I have been a psychotherapist for 25 years, accredited with UKCP since 2003, working both in private practice and for the mental health charity Mind, where I supervise groups of counsellors.

In our fast and inattentive culture, a space to slow down and listen to ourselves has become even more valuable. Although contemporary mental healthcare offers many solutions to our discontent, maybe human lives cannot be reduced to a set of problems to be solved. It's important to keep alive a space for the longer process of coming into a fuller relationship with ourselves and each other, where our uniqueness can emerge.

Over the years I've worked with all kinds of people, bringing all kinds of life issues. I remain fascinated by people and their stories and by how we make our way in the world. Some of my particular interests now include how to keep soul alive in a fragmented and fractured world, life transitions of all kinds and how we relate to the meaning dimension in our lives.

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

My first training was in Core Process Psychotherapy in the 1990s and this remains the foundation of my work. Other trainings have included Focusing and working with the arts and writing in therapy.
