Psychologist
Silvia Kennett is a registered psychologist who works across the lifespan: child – adolescent – adult. She works with individuals, couples, and families. The focus of interventions is to address underlying reasons which cause distress.
About
My name is Silvia Kennett and I am a registered psychologist and a member of the APS (Australian Psychological Society).
I provide services to individuals, couples, and families in need of counselling and psychological interventions. I incorporate CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and interpersonal counselling techniques to manage mood and anxiety presentations for children, adolescents, and adults.
I focus on the fundamental principles of Positive Psychology which foster the identification and utilisation of personal strengths and abilities.
I value the therapeutic relationship and strive to work in collaboration with my client in managing sensitive issues with confidence and in a confidential manner.
In addition, I have a background in primary and secondary teaching, speak two languages fluently (English and Spanish) and am attuned with cross cultural issues. I have also worked as a counsellor in primary, secondary and university settings.
