About Szilvia
Szilvia Hornsby is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom. She works with adults on common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and parenting. Szilvia also addresses relationship and intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, anger and self-esteem in her practice.
Her background draws on client-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic thinking. That means she focuses on the person in front of her and on patterns that repeat over time. Sessions are conversational and look at current problems as well as older patterns that keep causing trouble.
People who come to her can expect to talk through what is happening now and how earlier experiences shape reactions. She pays attention to attachment concerns and to issues linked to multicultural background or life transitions. Practical everyday topics such as sleep, parenting strains, and coping after separation are within her remit.
She also supports people navigating pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum depression and other women’s health concerns. Szilvia can work with young adult issues, body image and with people on the autism spectrum who want to understand how relationships affect them.
Sessions are offered in English and Hungarian. International clients are accepted. To begin, clients use an online matching process and then schedule a first session.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps the client name feelings and needs. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, parenting stress and everyday relationship struggles.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat across relationships and time. The focus is on how past experiences shape current reactions and on identifying unhelpful cycles. This can help with attachment issues, repeated conflicts and understanding emotional responses after trauma or separation.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Szilvia will discuss which methods seem most helpful based on a person’s goals and experience. She adapts conversations over time, checking in about what works and what needs changing.

Many people find it helpful to keep therapy within a regular routine while addressing parenting, grief, sleep and relationship concerns.
