About L'hibou
ACA, 9 years' experience. L'hibou Hornung works with stress, anxiety, family concerns, trauma and abuse, low self esteem and depression. She also notes experience supporting issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and caregiver stress.
L'hibou uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness Therapy. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage difficult feelings and improve day-to-day coping. Conversations aim to be direct and understandable rather than full of technical terms.
She describes herself as someone who values bonding with animals and time in nature as part of healing for some people. That interest informs how she thinks about connection, grounding and behavioural practice during counselling. It does not replace conversation-based work but can complement it where appropriate.
Clients can expect a counsellor who works on clear goals and teaches skills they can use between sessions. Typical sessions involve talking through problems, trying behavioural strategies and practising mindfulness or grounding techniques. Work often includes addressing communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, and relationship splits such as divorce and separation.
L'hibou is based in Australia and offers counselling in English. She uses her nine years of experience to help people facing mood disorders, panic attacks, isolation and questions about life purpose and midlife change.
How her approaches fit with online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice thoughts and feelings without trying to push them away, then choose actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and introduces practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it tends to suit panic, mood disorders and worry. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and grounding practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, often alongside other approaches.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can change over time as different skills are introduced and as you and the counsellor review what helps most.
Format details are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to schedule regular sessions, fit brief check-ins into a busy day and use exercises together during a session. It also allows practising mindfulness and CBT exercises between meetings to keep momentum in everyday life.
