About Szilvia
Counsellor Szilvia Hornsby is registered with the NCPS and has four years of experience working with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, sleeping problems, parenting pressures and self-esteem difficulties. She also focuses on attachment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, body image and women's health topics. Szilvia works in English and Hungarian and practises in the United Kingdom.
Szilvia uses an integrative approach with an emphasis on person-centred or client-centred ideas. That means she aims to listen without judgement and help people notice what matters to them. Sessions look at the patterns that keep problems going and at practical ways to try different choices.
Her psychodynamic work explores how past experiences and relationships shape current feelings and reactions. This can be useful for people who keep repeating the same conflicts or who want to understand deep-rooted patterns linked to attachment, family history or childhood wounds.
In practical terms she offers a conversational style. People talk through what is worrying them and together they identify small steps to test between sessions. The focus can shift from managing immediate symptoms like sleep or anxiety to exploring longer-term themes such as self-esteem, identity or relationship patterns.
Sessions can address issues around pregnancy, postpartum challenges, divorce or separation and multicultural concerns. Szilvia notes that some clients want help with forgiveness work, coping with life changes and building self-love. She supports young adults and women navigating transitional stages.
Her background combines person-centred listening with psychodynamic reflection. New clients are invited to discuss goals and practical arrangements in an initial meeting so they can decide if her way of working fits their needs.
Client-centred and psychodynamic work for remote counselling
Szilvia combines client-centred ideas with psychodynamic thinking. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, understanding a person’s perspective and helping them find their own solutions. It can help with stress, low mood, self-esteem and immediate practical concerns.Psychodynamic work looks at how earlier relationships and events shape current patterns. It can help people who find themselves repeating the same conflicts, facing attachment struggles, or wanting to understand long-standing emotional responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Szilvia will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and agree how to proceed. That decision is made together and may change as therapy progresses.
Please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the profile does not list formats explicitly. Online counselling can make regular contact easier to fit around work, childcare or other commitments. It also lets people choose quieter times, try shorter check-ins or avoid travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to maintain consistency of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
