Silva Neves

Silva Neves isn't just another sex therapist—he's the professional changing how the world understands sexual behavior, identity, and pleasure. Where others see problems, Silva recognizes beautiful complexity in our erotic lives.

Silva's journey to becoming one of London's most respected psychosexual therapists began with a revolutionary idea: what if we stopped shaming people for their desires and instead helped them understand their unique "erotic template"? This question has guided his decade-plus career as a Senior Accredited Sex & Relationship Therapist and UKCP Registered Psychotherapist with advanced accreditation in Gender, Sexuality, and Relationship Diversities.

From his private practice in Central London, Silva has supported countless individuals through sexual trauma, identity exploration, and relationship challenges. His trauma-informed approach combines evidence-based techniques (including EMDR therapy) with a genuine belief in your capacity for pleasure and healing. As Course Director at the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology and faculty member of International Online Sexology Supervisors, he's trained professionals across 15+ countries to adopt more inclusive, pleasure-positive frameworks.

You might recognize Silva from BBC's Sex On The Couch, or perhaps you've read his groundbreaking books, including Compulsive Sexual Behaviours and Sexology: The Basics. His work consistently challenges moralistic approaches to sex therapy, advocating instead for honoring the beautiful diversity of human desire.

In his Beducated courses on gender, sexual orientation, and fantasy exploration, Silva creates judgment-free spaces to explore topics often clouded by misconception. His warm, straightforward teaching style makes even the most complex aspects of sexual identity feel approachable and fascinating. Whether you're questioning your own orientation, supporting someone who's coming out, or simply curious about expanding your erotic imagination, Silva's expertise provides the perfect balance of scientific understanding and compassionate guidance.
