About Svetlana

Svetlana Hodge offers a calm, compassionate counselling approach for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life change. She creates a warm space where clients can speak at their own pace and reconnect with inner strengths. Svetlana greets people with empathy and straightforward care, aiming to help them feel heard and clearer about next steps.

Svetlana uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person central to the work. Sessions are relational and carried out with honesty and genuine listening.

Background and approach

This means the conversation is led by what matters to the client, not by a preset checklist. Common concerns she supports include anxiety, depression, low self-worth and emotional overwhelm. She also helps people facing parenting strain, family tension, grief, and practical difficulties from long-term illness or caring roles.

Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment issues, body image, and problems around communication and commitment. With three years of practice, Svetlana blends attentiveness with simple, practical conversation. She speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

Svetlana is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are offered in several online formats to suit different needs. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and then book a time that works for them.

Svetlana aims to help clients move from feeling stuck to feeling more in control of everyday life.

Ways of working Svetlana names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred help online and practical session options

Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than the therapist. It involves careful listening, reflecting back what the client says and following their lead. This approach helps people who feel overwhelmed, low in self-worth or unsure about big life changes to find their own clarity and next steps.

Svetlana also works relationally, bringing warmth and honesty into conversations. That means she pays attention to the relationship in the room and uses it to help clients understand patterns such as attachment or communication difficulties. Together they decide what feels most useful and adjust the way they work as needs change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is done collaboratively. Svetlana will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels comfortable, then adapt the sessions to suit those aims. Clients are invited to give feedback and shape the process at any time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing, want brief updates between sessions or need flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and caring responsibilities.
