Szilvia Hornsby

Szilvia Hornsby is a counsellor who draws on person-centred ideas to help people find clearer ways forward. She brings four years of practice and a registration with NCPS, and she speaks English and Hungarian. Her approach aims to create a calm, supportive space where clients can think things through and try new ways of coping.

She works with stress, anxiety and depression, and with relationship and intimacy-related difficulties. Szilvia also supports people facing grief, life changes, parenting strains and sleeping problems. She has an interest in attachment issues, body image, and matters such as divorce and separation.

In sessions she uses a client-centred stance alongside psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that keep turning up in life. That means she listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients notice repeated feelings or behaviours. Conversations often focus on understanding what is getting in the way and on practical next steps to try outside sessions.

People meet her for short-term work around a specific problem or for longer conversations about life direction. Sessions are shaped by the person’s needs, with attention to cultural background and to women’s health issues when relevant. Her style is warm and collaborative, inviting clients to decide the pace and focus of therapy.

Szilvia supports clients from the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. She advises anyone interested to complete the matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to her availability through the Start Therapy process.

How client-centred and psychodynamic work adapts online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client guides the conversation and the counsellor reflects and responds. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, relationship worries and coping with life changes by emphasising the person's own resources and choices.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and hidden feelings that influence current behaviour. It can help people understand why they react in certain ways, which is useful for anxiety, attachment issues and difficulties that keep repeating in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and the therapist will work collaboratively to identify what fits best. Together they will set goals and try ways of working that suit the client's needs and pace, reassessing as progress is made.

Confirm the available online session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people take part from different locations, which can be helpful for international clients and those juggling work or family commitments.
