About Szilvia

Szilvia Hornsby is a counsellor with NCPS and four years of practice based in the United Kingdom. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression and anger, among other life challenges. Sessions are offered in English and Hungarian, and she accepts international clients.

Szilvia uses a person-centred emphasis within an integrative framework. That means conversations begin with the client's experience and what feels most important to them. She listens for recurring patterns, feelings and relationships that get in the way of change and helps people name those patterns.

Her approach draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences shape present reactions. In session she will invite reflection about relationships, attachment and old hurts that keep repeating. This can help people understand why they respond with irritation, shutting down, or avoidance when stressed.

Practical, everyday problems are also part of the work. She helps people handle parenting strain, sleep disruption, grief and intimate relationship tensions. The focus is on realistic steps people can try between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day functioning.

Szilvia describes the process as collaborative. She works in partnership with clients to identify small changes that feel doable. To start, clients use a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session through the site.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and online working

Szilvia commonly uses Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely to the person's experience and helping them find their own solutions; it is useful for matters like low self-esteem, relationship difficulties and anger that comes from feeling unheard. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early patterns show up now, helping people recognise repeated reactions and make different choices.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will talk with clients about what feels most helpful and will adjust methods collaboratively based on the client's goals and preferences. The process is about experimenting with ways of understanding difficult reactions and testing small changes together.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm which online options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can support progress through regular remote meetings that focus on practical steps and noticing patterns between sessions.
