Szilvia Hornsby , NCPS

Szilvia Hornsby is a counsellor who combines a person-focused approach with a broader psychodynamic perspective. She draws on four years of practice to create a supportive space where people can talk about what feels hard and begin to make small, steady changes. Szilvia holds NCPS as a credential and offers sessions in English and Hungarian.

She centres conversations on each person’s experience rather than on labels. Sessions tend to be conversational and reflective, helping people notice patterns that keep causing pain. That might include repeated relationship problems, difficulty with intimacy, or struggles with self-esteem and body image.

Szilvia also pays attention to past experiences and how they shape present feelings. This psychodynamic element looks at how earlier relationships and events influence current reactions, including attachment worries, grief, and responses to trauma or abuse.

Her work covers practical life stresses too, such as sleep problems, parenting strain, anger, and coping with big changes like separation or postpartum challenges. She supports people navigating multicultural issues and those processing forgiveness or identity questions.

Sessions are available via video, phone, live chat, or text messaging. Szilvia approaches therapy as a partnership and helps people figure out what feels most useful for them in the moment.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It relies on open listening, empathy and helping people find their own answers. This approach can help with anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past experiences shape present feelings and behaviour. It can be useful for understanding attachment issues, recurring relationship patterns, grief and problems that feel stuck over time.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Szilvia will invite discussion about what feels most helpful and adjust methods as the work progresses. The aim is to match goals, needs and preferences rather than impose a single style.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation across distances. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, focused conversations when that suits better.
