About Szilvia
Szilvia Hornsby is a counsellor who brings four years of experience to work with parents and adults facing everyday pressures. She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. Szilvia speaks English and Hungarian and provides sessions from the United Kingdom to people internationally.
Her sessions aim to help people notice what gets in the way of change. She listens for patterns that contribute to stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or sleep problems.
Background and approach
Conversations often look at grief, relationship worries, intimacy-related issues and the strains that come with parenting. Szilvia draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at how past experiences can shape present feelings and behaviour. That can help people understand repeating patterns and make different choices.
She combines this with a client-centred stance that keeps the person’s priorities central in every session. People can expect a calm and open atmosphere where their experience is taken seriously. The work is collaborative - goals are set together and adjusted as needed.
Sessions can be tailored to focus on coping with life changes, postpartum depression, body image, cultural concerns or attachment difficulties. Her approach suits those who want reflective, conversational therapy that still aims for practical steps. Szilvia encourages small, manageable changes and helps people build on what already works for them.

Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Clinical approaches and online therapy options
Szilvia uses a client-centred approach that puts the person's experience at the heart of the work. This means sessions focus on listening, reflecting and following what matters most to the individual to build clarity and confidence.She also applies psychodynamic ideas to help people understand how earlier experiences affect current feelings and repeated patterns. This perspective can be useful for addressing attachment issues, long-standing relationship patterns and recurring emotional reactions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. Szilvia talks with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the way she works as the relationship develops.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls support deeper face-to-face conversation while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around busy days. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, flexible pacing or when someone prefers not to use audio. These options help people access therapy with greater flexibility and continuity, whatever their schedule or location.
