About Svetlana Hodge

Svetlana Hodge is a person-centred counsellor who creates a warm, compassionate, and non-judgemental environment where people can explore their experiences at a comfortable pace. She works from the belief that individuals possess inner resources for healing and growth, and she accompanies clients as they reconnect with those strengths and build new understanding.

Her practice is relational in nature, guided by empathy and authenticity. Svetlana listens attentively and helps clients make sense of feelings such as anxiety, depression, grief, low self-worth, or the sense of being stuck, offering steady support while clients find their own direction. Areas she commonly supports include anxiety and stress, depression, self-esteem and identity, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, and challenges related to cultural displacement and integration.

Svetlana is registered with the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional commitment to recognised standards of practice. She welcomes enquiries from those who would like to arrange an initial session or ask about how she works, and she is accepting new clients including people based outside the United Kingdom.

Person-Centred Care Online - Approaches and Accessibility

Svetlana primarily uses a client-centred approach, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client leads the conversation and is supported to discover their own solutions. This approach is helpful for issues like anxiety, low self-worth, grief, and major life transitions because it emphasises the client’s strengths and autonomy.

She also practices relationally, placing empathy and authenticity at the heart of the therapeutic relationship. This means attention is paid to the interaction between therapist and client, helping to make sense of relationship difficulties, communication problems, and emotional patterns that affect daily life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Svetlana collaborates with each person to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the focus as therapy progresses so the approach remains practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and there are options for live chat or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to access support from different locations, and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
