About Svetlana
Svetlana Hodge offers a calm, steady presence for people facing stress, anxiety or depression. She creates a warm, person-centred space where clients can speak at their own pace and begin to make sense of difficult feelings. The first aim is to listen and to help people reconnect with their own strengths and choices.
Svetlana uses a relational approach that focuses on empathy and genuine contact. Conversations are straightforward and grounded - the counsellor reflects what she hears and helps clients notice patterns in thoughts and behaviour.
Background and approach
This style can be useful for feeling overwhelmed, improving self-worth, and coping with life changes. She has three years of experience working with a range of concerns. Her practice addresses everyday stresses as well as long-running issues such as attachment difficulties, abandonment hurts, and avoidant personality patterns.
Svetlana also supports people dealing with blended family matters, caregiving strain, and chronic illness or pain. Additional areas of focus include communication problems, codependency, commitment worries, divorce and separation, and eating or body image concerns. She works in English, Russian and Ukrainian and accepts clients from outside the United Kingdom.
Svetlana holds BACP credentialing, which is noted in her professional details. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and scheduling begins after a short matching questionnaire.

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
Her relational way of working means the therapeutic relationship itself is the main tool. Over time the counsellor and client together explore patterns in feelings and behaviour, and decide which topics to focus on. This is a collaborative process where goals and methods are shaped by the client’s needs and preferences.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls approximate face-to-face contact and are useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions work well when someone needs a lower-bandwidth or camera-free option. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins and written reflections that can fit around busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt these formats so sessions fit into work, family or travel schedules while keeping the focus on progress.
