Szilvia Hornsby draws on four years of therapy experience and brings a warm, person-focused approach to sessions. She works from a client-centred stance and adds psychodynamic perspectives to help people understand patterns that keep them stuck. Szilvia welcomes conversations in English and Hungarian and practises from the United Kingdom.

She aims to create a calm space where people can talk honestly about stress, anxiety, low mood and grief. She also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, family-related stress, parenting challenges, sleep problems, anger and self-esteem.

Background and approach

Practical day-to-day struggles such as coping with life changes, separation and postpartum difficulties are part of her work. Szilvia uses listening and open questions to help people feel heard and to draw out their own solutions. She also explores past experiences and attachment patterns to show how earlier events shape current feelings and choices.

The focus is on small, achievable steps rather than quick fixes. Sessions are conversational and paced to what each person needs. Szilvia works collaboratively and encourages clients to set clear goals and check progress along the way.

Her style is direct yet compassionate, with attention to emotional safety and practical problem solving. People often come for help with body image, forgiveness, multicultural concerns and issues around pregnancy, childbirth and early parenthood. She also supports young adults and women who want to strengthen self-love and rebuild confidence.

Szilvia welcomes international clients and adapts sessions to different life situations.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the person find their own solutions, which is useful for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem issues. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how early relationships and past experiences shape current patterns of feeling and behaving, which can help with attachment issues, recurring relationship problems and long-standing emotional blocks.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Szilvia will work with each person to decide which ideas and techniques feel most helpful. This is a collaborative process that takes into account goals, preferences and how someone responds as therapy progresses.

Online sessions make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people meet face to face when visual cues are important, while phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or a flexible way to connect between sessions. These options give more choice about when and how to meet a therapist, supporting continuity of care across different locations and schedules.
