About Dilnia
Dilnia Horton is a counsellor who focuses on men's wellbeing and relationship concerns. She works with people struggling with self-esteem, eating issues, parenting pressures and family conflict. She creates a welcoming space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement.
Dilnia has 13 years of experience and holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She offers straightforward support for day-to-day worries and longer standing patterns that sap energy and confidence. Her approach is practical and down-to-earth.
In sessions she uses a mix of methods tailored to each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking and behaviour patterns and helps people test small changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people notice and name feelings that affect relationships. Mindfulness work builds skills to calm the mind and reduce reactivity.
Dilnia also draws on psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences shape present relationships and self-image. She helps people make links between old patterns and current problems, so they can try different ways of relating.
Sessions are offered in English and Kurdish. Her practice is in the United Kingdom and she does not take international clients. Prospective clients should follow the service booking steps to match with her and arrange sessions that suit them.
How therapeutic approaches work online
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to improve mood and relationships. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and behaviour patterns that keep problems going.Emotionally-Focused Therapy centres on identifying and naming emotions that shape relationship patterns. It helps people express feelings more clearly and build different ways of relating that reduce hurt and conflict.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust these as progress is made.
