How I work

I'm Sílvia Carneiro, Clinical and Health Psychologist, Family, Couples and Individual Systemic Therapist at Clínica da Vila. I support adults, couples and families going through crises, moments when relationships stop working as they used to and call for a fresh perspective.

Systemic intervention is aimed at families, couples or individuals in distress, and seeks to reorganise the interactions between the different members of the family or couple system, promoting more adjusted functioning, clearer communication and healthier relationships.

"One person's symptom often speaks about the balance of a whole system. Working together opens space for that balance to be rebuilt."

Beyond clinical practice, I'm accredited to carry out psychological assessments for public administration recruitment procedures, and I also work as a Victim Support Officer, with specific training in domestic violence.
