Mr Lucas Silva-Myles

Biography

My therapeutic approach is firstly to hear your story and understand what you are going through without judgement. Trust is an incredibly important factor for me, so that you feel like you are an equal part of your therapy – after all, you are the expert of ‘you’! Otherwise, I use evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Narrative Therapy (NT) to tailor my approach to help my clients understand, and work through, their problems as unique individuals and not as part of a general diagnosis. I am a registered psychologist and clinical psychology registrar. I am also an academic at Deakin University, where I teach, research, and write lectures for clinical and cross-cultural subjects. I am experienced in mood disorders such as depression, and anxiety disorders such as Phobias and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
