About Svetlana

Svetlana Hodge helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the practical strains of family and parenting. She works in a person-centred way, which means she focuses on the client's experience and priorities. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

Svetlana uses person-centred counselling to listen and reflect rather than direct. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on building clearer self-understanding. She pays attention to how past relationships affect present patterns, including attachment and abandonment concerns.

She also supports those coping with major life changes, chronic illness or caring responsibilities. Practical issues such as communication problems, blended family tensions, divorce and separation are included in her work. She addresses eating and body-image concerns without judging behaviours or feelings.

People who struggle with dependent, avoidant or commitment-related patterns can explore those tendencies in sessions. Issues linked to codependency, control and caregiver stress are open topics for discussion. Svetlana will help people talk through feelings and consider new ways of handling difficult situations.

Sessions are offered in English, Russian and Ukrainian. Svetlana welcomes clients based in the United Kingdom and also accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions are billed through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How client-centred approaches work for remote counselling

Client-Centred Therapy places the client's voice and experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens, reflects and offers understanding rather than directing the session. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, depression and adjusting to life changes.

Person-centred work also pays attention to attachment and relational patterns. That means exploring how early relationships influence current behaviour and feelings, which can help with issues like abandonment worries, codependency and communication difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Svetlana will work with each person to decide what methods fit their goals and preferences, and she will adjust sessions over time as needs change. This is a collaborative process that focuses on what the client wants to address.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available formats before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit counselling into everyday life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It can also help when different time zones are involved for international clients.
