Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and paced to the person, so clients can raise things when they are ready. The work often looks at patterns that keep anxiety or low mood in place and practical steps to reduce daily strain. Szilvia mixes person-centred listening with psychodynamic ideas about how past experiences shape present feelings.

This combination aims to increase self-understanding and spot recurring habits that cause distress. She supports people facing trauma, grief, sleep problems, parenting stress, relationship strains and changes such as separation. She also offers support around attachment issues, body image, postpartum depression, multicultural concerns and challenges many young adults and women face.

Sessions are intended to help people build clearer choices and more self-compassion as they make changes. People typically find the approach gentle and direct. Szilvia invites clients to set practical goals and to work together at a pace that fits their life.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Szilvia uses a person-centred approach that prioritises the client's experience and aims to create an accepting space where people can speak openly. This approach helps with anxiety, self-esteem and coping with life changes by focusing on what matters most to the person now.

She also draws on psychodynamic ideas, which look at how past experiences and early patterns influence current feelings and relationships. That perspective can be useful for understanding recurring behaviour, attachment issues and how old wounds affect present reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work, and Szilvia treats this as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods as therapy progresses so the plan fits their needs.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text messaging to give practical flexibility. Video lets conversations feel closer to in-person work, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help people fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and make it simpler to access support from different locations.
