About Szilvia
Szilvia Hornsby is a counsellor who builds on a client-centred foundation to help people untangle difficult feelings. She blends a supportive, hopeful stance with an interest in deeper patterns that shape current problems. Szilvia draws on four years of practice to guide people through common life challenges.
She works in English and Hungarian and is based in the United Kingdom. People come to Szilvia for many reasons, including stress, anxiety, depression and trouble sleeping.
Background and approach
She also helps with grief, anger, intimacy-related issues and relationship or family concerns. Additional areas of focus include attachment issues, body image, postpartum depression and the challenges around pregnancy and childbirth. Her approach combines Client-Centred Therapy with psychodynamic ideas.
In session she offers listening, reflection and gentle challenge. The aim is to spot recurring patterns and try different ways of responding to them. Szilvia often supports parents and young adults through life transitions like separation, divorce and changes in family roles.
She also addresses multicultural concerns and the experience of autism and Asperger Syndrome when these affect day-to-day coping. Work can include looking at self-esteem, self-love and forgiveness. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.
Szilvia uses a subscription model for sessions which can be cancelled at any time. She accepts international clients and will help people find practical steps to move forward.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist offers acceptance and reflection so people can explore feelings and decide what matters to them. This approach helps with anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and life transitions because it centres the person's own goals.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how earlier experiences shape current reactions and relationships. It involves gently exploring patterns and meanings that repeat over time, which can help with attachment issues, relationship difficulties and unresolved grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Szilvia will help the person and counsellor choose methods that match needs, goals and preferences. She encourages collaborative decision-making and adjusts the focus as issues shift.
Online sessions offer flexibility in how people meet. Video calls make face-to-face conversation possible, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text-based messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments while keeping the focus on progress.
