Overview

Silva Wellness is a London-based integrative wellness practice that offers non-medical psychological and integrative support for people engaging with prescribed psychedelic or ketamine-based treatments through independent clinicians. The service model emphasises harm reduction, preparation, and careful integration rather than medical prescribing or dispensing of medicines.

The organisation provides one-to-one, couples, and small-group support (up to four participants) in both in-person and at-home formats. Services include psychotherapy, integration sessions, breathwork, sound healing and related holistic offerings designed to support psychological, emotional and spiritual processing.

Best for

Silva Wellness is best suited to people seeking structured, compassionate integration and non-medical support around legally prescribed psychedelic or ketamine treatments, and to those wanting integrative therapy for trauma, addictive behaviours and mood concerns.

  • People in recovery or managing addictive behaviours
  • Individuals preparing for or integrating prescribed ketamine or other psychedelic experiences
  • Clients seeking psychotherapy combined with somatic or energy-based approaches

Approach

The approach is harm-reduction focused and multi-disciplinary, combining psychological listening, somatic awareness, energy work, and trauma-informed practices. Silva Wellness does not prescribe, dispense, or administer medication; instead the team signposts clients to independent prescribers and coordinates support around clients’ own medical care.

Support pathways are structured and may include an initial discovery call, a tailored preparation phase, an agreed schedule of sessions (commonly an eight-week plan or a custom timeline), and ongoing integration work. Sessions are offered virtually or in person in a sanctuary-like setting intended to prioritise safety, containment and embodiment.

The practice offers individual and relational formats and small-group work, and integrates modalities such as breathwork and sound healing to complement verbal psychotherapeutic processes.

Education and Training

The team includes clinicians with formal training and recognised credentials. The founder, Lucy da Silva, holds a master’s degree in psychology and works as an integrative psychotherapist specialising in addictive behaviours, relationships, PTSD and trauma. Other team members include counsellors and practitioners with qualifications such as MBACP, Reiki training, and sound-healing certification.

Support

Clients typically begin with a free discovery call and a pre-assessment to clarify goals and suitability. Silva Wellness provides preparation sessions, in-person or at-home support during self-administered, prescribed treatments, and a programme of integration sessions designed to help translate experiences into lasting change.

The team emphasises coordination with clients’ independent prescribers and licensed pharmacies where relevant, maintaining a clear boundary that Silva Wellness does not assess, diagnose, prescribe, store, or administer medication. Harm-reduction frameworks and safety planning are central to the support offered.

Silva Wellness operates from London and accepts bookings via a pre-assessment form and direct contact. Public contact details listed on the site include phone: 020 3340 7935 and email: [email protected].
