Silvia founded BlueSky Psychology and has been its driving force ever since. With over twenty years of experience as a Clinical Psychologist, she brings a depth of knowledge and a genuine warmth to her work that her clients consistently find reassuring. For Silvia, psychology has never been about applying a formula — it’s about understanding the particular person in front of her and finding the approach that’s right for them.
Silvia holds a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology alongside graduate qualifications in counselling, mediation, and family and relationship therapy. She is registered with the Psychology Board of Australia and is a Fellow of the College of Clinical Psychologists of the Australian Psychological Society. Her early research focused on relationship satisfaction, happiness, and quality of life, themes that continue to inform her clinical work today.
Her career has taken her across New South Wales, South Australia, and the United Kingdom, working across a genuinely broad range of settings — from Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and Youth and Parent Services to family centres, employment services, university settings, and GP practices. She has managed a busy Women’s Health Centre in Parramatta and consulted widely across both public and private contexts. That breadth of experience means she has worked with people at virtually every stage of life and in some of the most challenging circumstances imaginable.
Silvia works with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families. Her clinical experience spans depression, anxiety, panic, obsessions and compulsions, post-traumatic stress, and suicidal thoughts, as well as couple and family difficulties, child and adolescent behavioural and emotional concerns, complex grief, eating disorders, and the effects of abuse. She also helps people with stress, self-esteem, assertiveness, communication, and the kind of work-related concerns that can quietly affect every other area of life.
Her preferred therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy, Brief Solution Focused Therapy, and Systemic Family Therapy, though she draws on a wide range of methods depending on what each person needs most.
Beyond her clinical work, Silvia is regularly invited to appear on television as a psychology expert and is frequently quoted in both local and national media — a reflection of the respect she has earned within her field and the broader community.
