About Svetlana
Svetlana Hodge is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and the pressures of parenting and family life. She also supports those facing life changes and specific concerns such as blended family issues and attachment worries.
Svetlana uses person-centred counselling, which means conversations focus on the person's experience and priorities. Sessions are conversational and paced to what feels manageable. She listens for patterns around relationships, self-worth, and coping, and helps people name what matters most to them.
In practical terms she helps people untangle communication problems, commitment or control issues, and the fallout from divorce or separation. She also addresses struggles linked to body image, chronic illness, caregiver stress and codependency. These topics often come up alongside anxiety or low mood.
Svetlana works with English, Russian and Ukrainian speakers. She aims to make sense of difficult feelings and daily pressures so people can try different ways of responding. Work may include looking at attachment and abandonment themes to understand repeating patterns in relationships.
People who choose her often want straightforward conversations and practical next steps rather than jargon. To start, readers are encouraged to use the site matching process to arrange a first session and discuss what format of sessions will suit their situation.
How Svetlana works online with person-centred counselling
Person-centred counselling focuses on the individual's experience and priorities. The counsellor listens without directing the conversation and reflects back what they hear. This approach helps with anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns by making room to tell a clear story about what is happening and what matters.Svetlana also pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when they come up. Exploring these patterns can help people understand repeated difficulties in relationships and parenting roles. That work is conversational and looks at ways to try different responses in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they decide how to proceed. This is collaborative rather than prescriptive, and adjustments are made as the work continues.
