About Svetlana
Svetlana Hodge offers a calm, non-judgemental space for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or life changes. She invites clients to talk at their own pace and focuses on helping them reconnect with their own strengths. Svetlana speaks English, Russian and Ukrainian and works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally.
Her approach is client-centred, which means she listens closely and follows what matters most to the person in front of her.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be genuine and warm, with empathy and honesty guiding the conversation. This helps people who are struggling with low mood, worry, grief, or uncertainty about their next steps. Svetlana has three years of counselling experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She uses plain language in sessions and focuses on practical ways to make small changes that can feel manageable day to day. Many people bring issues such as parenting stress, family conflict, body image concerns or challenges after separation. She also supports people facing long-term health problems, caregiver stress, communication difficulties and patterns like codependency or avoidant behaviours.
Work often includes unpacking how early relationships affect current choices and finding kinder ways to relate to oneself. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled around the clients availability. Svetlana offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and routines.

Approaches Svetlana lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The work is relational and direct. Sessions aim to be warm and authentic, with the counsellor supporting the person to reconnect with their own strengths and resources. This style is useful for issues like attachment concerns, parenting stress, grief and self-esteem difficulties.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Svetlana will discuss goals and preferences and adapt how she works to fit the client's needs. Together they decide which methods and pace feel most helpful.
Online sessions come in several formats to suit different routines. Video calls make face-to-face conversation possible from home or work. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people write when that fits their day or feels easier than speaking. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around family, work and travel commitments.
