About Cila

Cila Hintz helps people with stress, panic, anxiety, phobias, addictions, trauma and abuse, and grief. She works with other concerns such as self-esteem, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, anger, bipolar and depression. She provides therapy in English and Hungarian and is based in the United Kingdom. Cila holds the NCPS credential and has eight years of clinical experience.

Cila uses several therapeutic methods and discusses a suggested plan at the first sessions. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work to shape practical steps and coping strategies. She also offers elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and hypnotherapy when they are appropriate to a person’s goals.

In sessions she focuses on clear, manageable strategies. That can mean learning to notice unhelpful patterns, practising breathing and grounding techniques for panic, or working through thoughts that maintain low mood or anxiety. For addiction-related concerns she helps people map triggers and plan safer responses.

Cila also supports people facing relationship or intimacy questions, body-image worries, attachment and abandonment concerns, and issues linked to kink and alternative sex culture. She includes work on communication, codependency and co-morbidity when these are relevant.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process. The early meetings are used to agree goals, try approaches and adjust the plan as needed. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How Cila blends approaches for online counselling

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and testing small changes to see if they help. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, panic and some eating or sleeping difficulties.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting led by them, and to choose actions that match what matters to them. It can support coping with chronic stress, grief and life transitions.

Client-centred therapy emphasises the person’s own perspective and pace, with the counsellor listening and reflecting to help clarify goals. When useful, elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy are introduced to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills.

Working out the best approach is part of the early sessions. The counsellor will discuss aims, try methods and adjust based on what appears to help. This is a collaborative process where the client’s goals and preferences guide decisions.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare or travel, and can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited or phone-only contact is preferred.
