Szilvia Hornsby

Szilvia Hornsby is a counsellor who brings a person-centred outlook to her work. She draws on four years of experience and the NCPS credential to build a supportive space where people can explore what’s holding them back. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit a person’s life and goals.

She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, anger and depression in everyday terms. Szilvia also supports those coping with trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grieving, sleep troubles and parenting strains. She works with issues around self-esteem, body image and self-love, and helps people through life changes such as separation or becoming a parent.

Her approach is rooted in Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises listening, empathy and the client’s own pace. She also draws on Psychodynamic Therapy to look at patterns from the past that repeat today. In sessions she combines steady listening with gentle reflection so people can spot unhelpful cycles.

Szilvia uses simple, straightforward language in sessions. She aims to help people identify small, practical changes that make daily life easier. Conversations are collaborative - the client’s goals lead the way.

She offers work in English and Hungarian and accepts international clients. To start, clients use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How her approaches guide online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and following the client’s lead. It helps when someone needs space to be heard, to build self-trust, and to choose practical next steps at their own pace. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns rooted in past experiences. It can help people understand repeating behaviours and where feelings such as anger or hurt come from.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether to emphasise person-centred listening or psychodynamic reflection. That conversation is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.

Confirm the available session formats before booking so they match your needs. Many people find online sessions helpful because they fit more easily into busy days, reduce travel time and make regular check-ins simpler. Others prefer formats that allow a shorter audio check-in when time is tight or lower-bandwidth options when internet quality varies. Talk with the therapist to choose the way of meeting that best fits your routine and goals.
