About Silvana Byrne

Welcome! I’m Silvana Byrne, a Chartered Psychologist accredited by the Psychological Society of Ireland, with expertise in Psychotherapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My practice is grounded in the values of inclusion, respect, and understanding, embracing both cultural and neurodiversity to make therapy accessible to everyone.

My International Background and Dedication to Diversity

Originally from Uruguay and raised in Brazil, I understand the nuances and challenges that come with adapting to new cultures and environments. Since relocating to Ireland in 2008 and establishing my private practice in Dublin, I’ve had the privilege of working with clients from over 15 countries, assisting them in adjusting to life in Ireland. With fluency in Portuguese, Spanish, and English, I’m able to reach clients in their native language, helping them feel seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to ensure that every individual, no matter their background, feels comfortable and supported as they work toward their mental health goals.

Specialized in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

My commitment to delivering effective, evidence-based therapy led me to specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy at Trinity College Dublin. CBT is a powerful, practical approach that helps people reshape their thoughts and behaviors to foster better mental health and resilience. I work collaboratively with clients, actively involving them in therapeutic exercises and practical tools they can use both in and out of sessions. This approach empowers my clients to take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Beginning therapy is a brave step, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. Witnessing the positive transformations my clients experience is deeply rewarding, and it’s my honor to help individuals find clarity, strength, and self-acceptance. My practice is dedicated to promoting growth, self-discovery, and resilience, helping clients unlock their full potential in a compassionate and nurturing environment.
