About L'hibou
L'hibou Hornung is an ACA counsellor with nine years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and low self-esteem. She combines gentle curiosity with straightforward support to help people take the first steps toward change. Her style is warm and respectful, and she aims to make each session feel manageable for someone under pressure.
Hornung adapts conversations and plans to fit each person's situation. She draws on somatic ideas that link body awareness with emotion, and she blends talking therapy with practical skills.
Background and approach
Sessions can include breathing, grounding or movement suggestions alongside reflective discussion. She also brings experience from equine-assisted work and a love of nature into her practice when it fits a person's needs. That background often helps people reconnect with their bodies and feel steadier in difficult moments.
Hornung emphasises small, achievable steps rather than big leaps. People contact her for a wide range of concerns including family conflict, depression, panic, chronic pain, body image and issues around attachment or abandonment. She works to create clear goals and straightforward tools clients can use between sessions.
Hornung offers sessions in English from Australia. She tailors approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and client-centred work to each person's preferences. Her aim is to support people as they build more reliable ways to cope and to make meaningful changes over time.
How somatic and evidence-based approaches work online
Somatic-informed work helps people notice how emotions show up in the body and use simple grounding or movement to regulate those sensations. In an online setting this often means guided body awareness, breath work and attention to posture to reduce physical tension and overwhelm.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small committed actions. Online ACT sessions combine reflective discussion with exercises to practise acceptance and choose meaningful steps between meetings. Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics of conversation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose and adapt methods based on the person's goals, comfort and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust the plan as needed rather than relying on a single technique.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different lifestyles and needs. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility limits. Practical tools, short exercises and check-ins can be shared digitally so people can practise skills between sessions and track progress over time.
