Silvana da Cunha

Hi, I am Silvana. I am a registered psychologist with a background in psychoanalytic practice and a commitment to providing compassionate, culturally sensitive, and neuro affirming psychological care. My approach is grounded in the belief that every person has a unique story, shaped by their relationships, experiences, culture, and life circumstances. I aim to create a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where people feel heard, understood, and supported in exploring their emotions, relationships, and challenges. I have experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults across diverse settings, including community services, early intervention, and telehealth. I am particularly interested in supporting people through life transitions, emotional difficulties, relationship challenges, and the complexities of identity and belonging. I also value working with neurodivergent individuals and recognising each person's strengths, needs, and individuality. My psychoanalytic background informs my curiosity about the deeper meanings behind our feelings, patterns, and relationships, while my practice remains responsive to each person's individual needs and goals. I look forward to supporting mothers and families on their journeys, helping them feel understood, build self-awareness, and find meaningful ways forward with greater confidence and self-compassion.
