Love gurus - Savio de’Silva

SAVIO D’ SILVA, RELATIONSHIP COUNSELLOR

A relationship counsellor for seven years, Savio D’Silva loves to meet people, discuss their problems and get to know them better. He enjoys interacting with people from different walks of life and is a great listener.

His most common problem: Extra-marital affairs and situations where couples have trouble with their in-laws.

His solution: He often asks couples to spend quality time together, to go away on a vacation, where they can discuss their problems and reduce miscommunication.

One of his weirdest love problems: A client once sought his advice because he hated something his wife cooked and had been eating it for eight years pretending to like it. He flung it on her face one day because he couldn’t take it anymore.

How he thinks the idea of love and relationships has changed over the years: The media has played a vital role. People are more exposed to magazines and newspapers today, all of which have changed their idea of love. The greatest impact has been in the cities, where there are more live-in couples. Relationships are more open today.

What’s most difficult: Switching off from a client’s problems. “It’s difficult for me to go back home and forget about everything. At times I relate it to my life.”
