Born in Germany in 1966, my early life was a whirlwind of confusion and chaos, lacking emotional guidance, closeness, and acceptance. This led me down a path of disrespect, abuse, and eventually, the most painful experience of my life – losing custody and contact with my first-born child.
Through a journey of self-development, I transformed my life. By taking responsibility for my thoughts and actions, I shifted from a victim mentality to one of empowerment. This change allowed me to build strong relationships with my family, friends, children, and partners. Today, I stand firmly in my power, continuously exploring new growth edges and stepping into the unknown to become my true self.
The most powerful tools in my transformation have been Therapy, Mindfulness, Movement Practices, Awareness Practice, Family Constellations, and Creative Body Work. These are the same tools I now use in my facilitation to help others on their paths to self-discovery and empowerment.
Working with me
“My passion lies in recognising the sparkle in people’s eyes and celebrating their uniqueness and courage. I strive to create an atmosphere rich with heartfelt connections and endless possibilities. With my creative mindset, nurturing heart, authenticity, and eagerness to learn, I seek to foster understanding and connection.” Silvia Siret
I am a practitioner at Helix House Natural Health Centre in Oxford and an active member of the OTS-Oxford Therapy Centre, as well as the International Systemic Constellations Association (ISCA). I have trained with esteemed teachers such as Michael Soth and Justin Smith in embodied, relational, humanistic psychotherapy and with the CPTA (level-4 therapeutic counselling). I have worked with and learned from, amongst others, Robert Downes; Stephan Hausner, who specialises in systemic approaches to illness and health; Nir Esterman (Shadow Constellation Work) and Marianne Franke-Gricksch (Systemic Expert in Education and Families). I engage in peer groups and workshops and also invite fellow facilitators to participate in my workshops. My practice is trauma-informed and operates within the framework established by the BACP.
“Silvia is an authentic, wise, and open hearted guide who has trodden the path to healing herself, and has all the skills and sensitivity needed to help others on their journey to a happier future, however difficult it may be to face the baggage carried from the past. We co-created a powerful and good energy, and Silvia held the space so well.” (Fiona – Workshop Participant)
“Silvia is great at fostering an inviting and open environment, where you not only feel at home but you feel supported, understood and respected by all group members. She offers really varied useful activities, which offer good balance and scope and is flexible each week to change from plan if she feels something else would be more helpful. Her place is the perfect retreat. Thank you Silvia, love the sessions :-)” (Sarah Maynard – Participant)
