Silvia Polakovic PgD MBACP
Integrative & Somatic Therapist | Supervisor | Facilitator
I am an integrative/somatic inquiry therapist whose journey of self-discovery and resilience inspires my compassionate approach to healing.
My extensive experience across primary schools, secondary schools, and alternative provisions (PRU) highlights my deep understanding of the varied challenges young people face. A collaborative approach with parents and schools is crucial in fostering positive outcomes.
Working with adults has deepened my exploration of somatic therapy, allowing clients to uncover and process unexpressed and buried emotions. This approach helps individuals gain greater awareness of how past experiences influence their present lives.
In 2009, I embarked on a life-changing journey. Volunteering at a girls’ orphanage in Peru became a turning point, awakening me to the power of self-compassion, connection, and the healing potential of love and understanding.
Through personal challenges, I gained a deep appreciation for the body’s role in healing. These experiences illuminated the importance of stepping out of survival mode and into intentional, embodied living. The discovery of somatic therapy offered tools that transformed my life, helping me process emotions, regulate my nervous system, rebuild confidence, and embrace my unapologetically authentic self.
Today, I specialize in trauma-informed care, guiding my clients through life’s challenges with empathy, insight, and practical tools. My approach emphasizes that healing begins within; the body holds profound wisdom and the capacity for restoration. By fostering self-awareness, compassion, and connection, I empower clients to process emotions, release pain, and rediscover joy.
I help people heal by transforming trauma stored in the body’s wisdom. My approach supports relief from chronic pain, illness, childhood trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, depression, numbness, and even deep states of mental health issues. If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or weighed down by past experiences, I’m here to guide you toward healing and wholeness.
I am dedicated to creating a safe, nurturing space where clients can find their path to healing. My mission is to help others transform their pain into lightness and their struggles into strength, reminding them that healing is not just about recovery—it’s about reclaiming the fullness of life.
In essence, being in a therapeutic practice with me embodies a commitment to holistic healing, guided by empathy, intuition, and a profound respect for the inherent wisdom within everyone. By honouring the connection of mind, body, and spirit, therapy empowers individuals to cultivate a deeper sense of awareness, resilience, and wholeness in their lives.
With a gentle and kind heart,
Silvia
