The Wellness Circle

As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, relationship counsellor, breathwork practitioner, and sound healing gong therapist, Sylvia believes deeply in the value of human life.

With a wide range of life experiences and evidence-based psychological therapies, she has a keen interest in empowering and compassionately supporting individuals, couples, and families struggling with stress and pressure. Her background as a qualified counsellor, combined with her experience with integrative healing modalities using Reiki, Breathwork and Gongs, makes her approach unique and very impactful. 

Often, the path to wholeness begins with accepting ourselves as we are, imperfections and all. The key is to develop self-compassion and to build upon what you have already achieved in life. 

Sylvia focuses on healing mental health and improving overall well-being to enrich the human experience.

In her role as an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, she utilises theory and techniques from all three main branches of counselling to meet the specific needs of her clients: 

• the humanistic school (Somatic Experiencing, Person-Centred and Existential)

To help you find hope, clarity, inspiration, and empowerment, she combines traditional talk therapy with transformative mindfulness techniques, including gong bath meditation, conscious connected breathwork, and animal-assisted therapy.  

Sylvia is compassionate and insightful. She can help you balance and harmonise all aspects of your personality and being into a balanced and joyful whole, body, mind, and soul.

From the beginning, she will work collaboratively with you, as a team, to re-discover the path that will lead to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Gong Bath Meditation

Healing can be brought about by utilising therapeutic gong sounds and vibrations in a gong meditation. 

Participants often lie down on meditation mats. If you add a pillow and a light blanket, all you'll have to do is rest in a comfortable position, close your eyes, and relax.

Breathwork Counselling

During a standard Breathwork session, Sylvia will guide you on how to use conscious connected breathing to reach a state of non-ordinary consciousness. 

Non-ordinary states of consciousness include dreaming, intense focus, and accessing subdued emotions, past traumas, and memories of early development.

Counselling aims to identify motivations and goals, to process the experiences that emerge from breathing practice, and to focus on handling strategies for change. 

Breathwork's integration of talk and body approaches allows it to serve as both a resource and a tool for tuning in to inner resources.
