About Dilnia
Dilnia Horton is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has 13 years of experience. She helps people with relationship strain, family difficulties, eating concerns, parenting challenges and self-esteem problems. Sessions are offered in English and Kurdish from a base in the United Kingdom.
Dilnia focuses on practical conversation and clear steps. She listens to what matters most and works with clients to notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns. That can mean trying small, concrete changes between sessions to see what helps in day-to-day life.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot thinking habits that keep problems going. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas to look at how emotions affect relationships, and Mindfulness techniques to help with difficult feelings and stress. Psychodynamic ideas are used when looking at recurring relationship patterns that go back to earlier experiences.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and structured. Dilnia will check goals regularly and adapt the focus as progress is made. She explains options and practical exercises in plain language, and reviews how things are working as therapy continues.
People who come to her often want clear ways to reduce conflict, improve communication, manage eating concerns, or handle parenting strain. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session using the See online therapy options button.
Dilnia works within the frameworks listed and aims to help clients find approaches that fit their situation and daily life.
How her approaches translate to online work
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Online sessions using CBT look at specific situations, test new responses and plan brief between-session exercises to try in daily life. This approach can help with relationship conflict, eating concerns and low self-esteem.Emotionally-Focused Therapy pays attention to emotional patterns in relationships. In an online conversation EFT-style work helps people name feelings, trace how emotions shape interactions, and practice new ways of responding to others. This can be useful for improving communication or managing attachment-related worries.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and help choose or combine methods that suit each person's needs. That decision is made collaboratively and can change as goals shift.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can be practical for fitting therapy around everyday life, for shorter check-ins, or when quieter surroundings and lower travel time matter. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to keep work manageable within a client's routine.
