“ The attempt to escape from pain is what creates more pain. ”
Are you ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and transformation?
Grounded Presence Counselling is here to support you in navigating your challenges and creating long-lasting changes.
My name is Silvia Roberts and I’m a registered counsellor and psychotherapist. The name Grounded Presence comes from my belief that things start to shift in our outer world when our inner world is grounded and present. Working as a therapist is my passion and I feel privileged to witness the incredible transformation of many clients – some from a moment of stagnation, others from a place of deep pain, addiction or self-loathing.
As a trauma-informed, integrative therapist, I draw upon a range of approaches that holistically address the interplay of mind, body, emotions and soul. I believe that by exploring and addressing the root causes rather than just the symptoms, we gain a deeper awareness of ourselves and move away from our old patterns towards meaningful and long-lasting changes.

“ I have been where you are. My own healing and growth, the personal work I have undertaken and my professional and personal commitment are the foundation of my practice. I believe that true, lasting transformation is possible. ”
