About Szilvia

Szilvia Hornsby draws on four years of professional experience to offer a warm, person-focused counselling style. She works from the United Kingdom and speaks English and Hungarian. Szilvia uses a client-centred stance to help people reflect, make sense of their feelings, and find practical next steps.

She aims to create a calm, supportive space where people can talk through what is getting in the way of change. Conversations tend to focus on understanding patterns, reducing stress and anxiety, and improving self-esteem.

How Szilvia works

Szilvia pays attention to how early attachments and life experience shape current behaviour and relationships. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger and sleeping difficulties. She also helps people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting strains, and life transitions such as separation or childbirth.

Additional areas of focus are body image, attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, postpartum depression and multicultural concerns. Szilvia uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Psychodynamic Therapy to support reflection and insight. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental listening style.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at long-standing patterns that influence present feelings and choices. She is registered NCPS. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

International clients are accepted and Szilvia works with people from different cultural backgrounds to tailor support to their needs.

Online support options

Approaches that suit online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on respectful listening and helping people feel heard. It supports self-exploration and practical change by prioritising the client's perspective and pacing sessions around what feels manageable.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores long-standing patterns and early relationships that shape current feelings and behaviours. It can be useful when someone wants to understand recurring difficulties such as attachment challenges, relationship patterns or reactions to loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Szilvia will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. She adapts the balance of reflective exploration and practical coping strategies to suit what the client needs.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
