Mariana Silva

Professional Profile

Hello, I’m Mariana, and I’m here to help you unlock your true potential. I am a highly skilled Clinical Psychologist and accredited CBT therapist with over 10 years of NHS experience, supporting people of all ages through a wide range of emotional, psychological and life challenges. I offer therapy in both Portuguese and English.

I specialise in helping individuals make sense of their difficulties through compassionate, evidence-based assessment and personalised therapy. With extensive experience across Older Adult Mental Health, CAMHS, IAPT and Learning Disability services, I bring a deep understanding of what people face at different stages of life—from anxiety and depression to long-term health conditions, cognitive changes, or the effects of stress and trauma.

I translate complex psychological models into simple, meaningful tools you can use every day. Whether you want to break unhelpful patterns, build emotional resilience, enhance your wellbeing, or navigate a challenging period, I tailor therapy to your unique needs and goals.

As a current PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge, I combine cutting-edge knowledge in dementia diagnosis and prognosis with a grounded, empathetic therapeutic style. Together, we can help you move toward the life you want with clarity, confidence and renewed strength.

I abide by the professional and ethical standards laid down by the BABCP and I have full professional indemnity and current DBS clearance.

Please note that I have a particular preference for working with adults aged 25 and over. I warmly welcome enquiries and referrals from individuals within this age group and look forward to exploring how I may be able to support you.
