About Svetlana
Svetlana Hodge offers a calm, person-centred space for people feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She provides a warm, non-judgemental way to talk things through and helps people reconnect with their own strengths. Svetlana uses empathy and honesty to make it easier to say what is on your mind.
She listens to worries about anxiety, stress and low mood, and helps people facing life changes or grief. She also supports those dealing with self-worth, relationship difficulties and the strain of parenting. Codependency, attachment and abandonment issues are among the additional concerns she addresses.
Svetlana uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on understanding each person's experience and moving at their pace. Sessions aim to make sense of feelings and reactions so practical changes feel possible. The emphasis is on the person's own resources rather than on applying rigid techniques.
She has three years of professional experience and holds BACP, which is listed as her credential. Svetlana works in the United Kingdom and speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian. She welcomes people who are navigating complex emotional or practical challenges and wants to help them find steadier footing.

Client-centred support through online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than labels. The counsellor aims to listen without judgement, reflect what is heard and help the client find their own ways forward. This approach can help with anxiety, depression, codependency and restoring a sense of self during life changes.Working relationally means the counsellor pays attention to the therapeutic relationship itself. Through empathy and honesty, the therapist helps clients make sense of feelings and patterns that get in the way of day-to-day life. Together they decide what feels most useful and adapt the approach as needs change.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. Online work can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins or longer sessions around work and family commitments. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm the current session options before booking so you know how you will meet and how sessions will suit your routine.
