Szilvia Hornsby

Szilvia Hornsby, NCPS, brings four years of practical counselling experience to her work. She offers a warm, person-centred way of meeting people where they are. Sessions aim to help clients find clearer understanding of their feelings and choices. Szilvia speaks English and Hungarian and works from the United Kingdom.

Szilvia favours a Client-Centred stance, focusing on a supportive, non-judgemental atmosphere. This helps people explore stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns at their own pace. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that repeat over time, such as attachment difficulties or self-sabotage.

She has experience working with issues around grief, intimacy, body image and parenting strains. Szilvia also supports people facing pregnancy and childbirth transitions, postpartum depression and stages of divorce or separation. Her additional focus includes multicultural concerns and challenges linked to autism and Asperger Syndrome.

In sessions she aims to help clients build self-esteem, cope with life changes and address sleep or anger problems. Her approach tends to be optimistic and collaborative, inviting people to take practical steps they feel ready for. Szilvia encourages exploration of personal values and small changes that can make a difference.

If someone wants to begin, she asks them to consider their goals and what feels most urgent. Szilvia works in partnership with each person to develop a plan that suits their situation and pace.

How her approaches guide online therapy choices

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and accepting each person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so clients can find their own answers; this approach often helps with self-esteem, anxiety and relationship concerns.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and life events. It helps people notice how past experiences shape current thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for attachment issues, grief and longstanding mood problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Szilvia treats choice as collaborative and will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. She adjusts the focus over time as needs change and as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online formats. Please confirm which session types are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more flexible check-ins when needed. It can also allow people to meet with a counsellor who speaks their language or who has relevant cultural understanding, even if they are in a different country.
