L'hibou Hornung, ACA

L'hibou Hornung is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by stress, anxiety, depression and low self esteem. She also supports those coping with family conflict, trauma, and life transitions such as midlife change. She writes simply and offers calm, respectful conversation to start making changes.

Hornung adapts sessions to each person's needs and pace. She uses talking therapy alongside nature-based work, including equine assisted psychotherapy, to help people reconnect with their feelings and strengths. Sessions aim to build small, practical skills as well as clearer personal direction.

Her style is direct but warm. She listens first, then helps people name what matters to them. Therapy can include learning grounding and mindfulness skills, trying new ways to handle difficult thoughts, and practising clearer communication.

People come to Hornung for relationship strains, grief, loneliness, or a sense of lost purpose. She often supports those facing control issues, abandonment or attachment wounds, and the shame that follows trauma. Work may cover physical health challenges too, such as chronic pain or illness, which affect mood and daily life.

Taking a first step can feel hard. Hornung aims to make that step easier by offering steady support, tailored plans, and practical tools to use between sessions.

How ACT, CBT and client-centred work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and questions about life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and often includes practical exercises to try between sessions. Client-Centred Therapy gives people space to talk while the counsellor reflects and supports their own direction and choices.

Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide whether ACT, CBT, client-centred methods or a blend will suit the issue at hand.

Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time that can get in the way of regular work. It also lets people use mindfulness and grounding exercises at home or in a quieter setting, or bring notes and exercises to sessions more easily. The counsellor will discuss practical arrangements and help pick a format that fits the client's daily life.
