About L'hibou
L'hibou Hornung is an ACA counsellor in Australia with nine years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also lists related concerns such as panic, attachment and communication problems among her focus areas.
Hornung uses straightforward conversation and practical tools in sessions. She often brings mindfulness and cognitive approaches into the work. Clients can expect attention to how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact day to day.
Her approach draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy. That mix is used to reduce unhelpful habits and to strengthen coping skills for difficult moments. Sessions can include talking, practising skills and noticing patterns that keep problems active.
She also values working with animals and nature as part of therapeutic contact when appropriate. This can help some people feel less tense and more able to focus on what matters to them.
People who come for help with parenting stress, family tension or caring responsibilities will find practical steps for communication and self-management. Hornung aims to help people identify manageable changes for everyday life and to build clearer ways to handle recurring problems.
How sessions work
Approaches used online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and values and taking small actions that align with what matters. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and for people stuck in avoidance patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with panic, mood problems and worry. Mindfulness Therapy supports learning simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest approaches to try. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted as you notice what helps and what does not.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove travel time. They also let people practise skills in the settings where problems actually occur, which can help transfer new ways of coping into everyday life.
