L'hibou Hornung

L'hibou Hornung is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety and low mood. She also supports those dealing with family conflict, trauma and worries about confidence and motivation. Her approach is respectful and down-to-earth, aimed at helping people take practical steps forward.

Hornung brings a calm, compassionate presence to sessions. She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She also works as an equine assisted psychotherapist and values how animals and time outdoors can complement talking therapy.

In sessions she focuses on clear, doable goals rather than long lists of techniques. She listens for what matters most and helps people try small changes that fit their life. Many clients work on things like managing panic, improving self-esteem, or repairing communication with loved ones.

Her methods draw from approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and mindfulness. She combines these with client-centred dialogue to keep the work practical and personal. Hornung aims to help people build stronger coping skills and a clearer sense of purpose.

Taking a first step can feel hard. She offers a supportive space for people to talk through what they are struggling with and to plan achievable next steps towards feeling better.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and problems with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical skills to reduce panic, worry and depressive symptoms. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and strengthen present-moment awareness, which often helps with stress and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist works collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs and preferences. Clients are encouraged to give feedback so sessions can be adjusted if something isn't working.

The therapist's biography does not specify which online session formats she uses, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people continue momentum between face-to-face meetings or blend outdoor, equine or in-person work with remote sessions where appropriate. Appropriately qualified therapists can adapt ACT, CBT and mindfulness exercises to work well across different settings.
