About L'hibou
L'hibou Hornung is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, motivation, self-esteem and confidence. She speaks English and draws on several therapy methods to help people make small, practical changes.
Clients can expect straightforward sessions that focus on thoughts, behaviours and practical skills. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness-based tools to notice unhelpful patterns and try different responses. Sessions aim to identify small steps that reduce distress and build better habits.
Hornung also practises client-centred approaches and elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy when emotion regulation and interpersonal skills are needed. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the person and the counsellor work out useful strategies together. The emphasis is on clear exercises, behaviour experiments and simple skills to practise between sessions.
She values contact with the natural world and works as an Equine Assisted Psychotherapist in contexts where that is appropriate; this is an additional way some people find helpful to practise connection and calm. Practical concerns such as communication problems, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, guilt, isolation and life transitions are within her stated focus areas.
Her approach is direct and practical. People who want to pin down unhelpful thoughts, rehearse different responses and build manageable routines tend to find this style useful. Before booking, confirm the session formats currently offered.
How her approaches work in online sessions
She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and test new responses with small experiments. CBT focuses on practical steps you can try between sessions to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change negative thinking patterns.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose values-based actions despite them. ACT can be useful for managing chronic stress, living with persistent symptoms or making values-driven changes. Client-Centred Therapy appears in her work as a way to keep the conversation focused on the person's experience and pace the work around what feels most relevant.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hornung will help you decide which combination of CBT, ACT or client-centred methods fits your aims, preferences and everyday constraints. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
The site biography does not specify which session formats are currently offered, so confirm the available options before booking. Online formats can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, reduce travel time or choose shorter check-ins when needed. Discuss practical arrangements and any access needs when you schedule the first session to ensure sessions fit your routine.
