Vishmi De Silva

Vishmi De Silva is a masters qualified counsellor who works with children, adolescents and couples who experience a wide range of challenges. Her professional commitment to clients starts with actively listening to their experiences and perspectives. She believes that hearing peoples’ perspective is a vital first step in moving forward in a life-giving way.

Vishmi understands that life is not always easy, and that every person has their own unique journey of self-discovery. She is therefore focused on bringing clarity to her clients in finding their own way forward. Vishmi seeks to accompany clients on a journey of self-discovery that will open up more choices and lead to deeper self-knowledge, and more personal freedom.

Warmth and strong engagement underpin Vishmi’s work with all clients. Person-centred therapy is the foundation of her approach, but Vishmi also utilises Emotion Focused Therapy, Schema Therapy techniques, Internal Family Systems, Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
