About Szilvia
Szilvia Hornsby works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, parenting and related issues using a person-centred approach and psychodynamic ideas. She is registered with NCPS and has four years' experience working with people in the United Kingdom. Szilvia speaks English and Hungarian and accepts international clients.
Szilvia draws mainly on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and helping people make their own sense of things. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns that keep repeating and how past experiences may affect current feelings and relationships. Sessions are conversational and aim to uncover what gets in the way of change.
In practice she offers a calm, reflective way of working. Sessions concentrate on what matters to the person in front of her and on small, manageable steps. Topics she commonly addresses include low mood, anxiety, sleep problems, anger and issues linked to parenting, pregnancy and postpartum changes.
She also works with attachment questions, body image, aspects of neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger Syndrome, multicultural concerns, and separation or divorce. Grief, intimacy-related difficulties and self-esteem are included among her focus areas.
Szilvia encourages people who want to explore their patterns and make changes to take a first step. The process starts with a short matching questionnaire and booking a first session so she can hear your concerns and agree the way forward.
How her approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places emphasis on careful listening and helping a person find their own solutions; online sessions can mirror this by keeping conversation focused and reflective, which suits issues such as anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns. Psychodynamic ideas involve noticing patterns and feelings that repeat over time; working on these themes can be done in regular online sessions where themes are tracked and reflected on together.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Szilvia will discuss what feels most helpful and will decide collaboratively with the client which mix of listening and exploring patterns to use. She will adapt the style to the person's goals and preferences rather than imposing a single method.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. In general online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity of care for people who move or travel, while keeping the focus on practical progress and regular review of goals.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
