About L'hibou

L'hibou Hornung is an ACA counsellor in Australia with nine years of professional experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. Her work also touches on life purpose and a range of related concerns people bring when they feel stuck or unsure of their next step.

Hornung uses clear, conversational sessions to talk through practical problems. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thoughts and behaviours, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters to them. Mindfulness and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills also appear when managing strong emotions or panic.

Sessions focus on concrete steps rather than abstract promises. People learn tools for everyday life - breathing and grounding for panic, behaviour experiments for rumination, and values-based actions for feeling directionless. She pays attention to how relationships, caregiving roles and past hurt shape current choices.

Her approach includes listening closely to what someone wants next, then working out small experiments to test change. Conversations often include exercises you can practise between sessions. The aim is steady, manageable progress rather than quick fixes.

Hornung's work is informed by nine years in the field and an ACA credential. She offers a respectful professional relationship and practical techniques for people trying to move forward after change, loss, or a period of stuckness.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small actions that align with those values. It helps when someone feels directionless or stuck by shifting attention from fighting thoughts to doing what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It offers practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits that reduce anxiety and low mood.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Hornung will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their situation and goals. That means trying techniques in session and adjusting based on what feels useful and manageable.

The therapist's profile does not specify which session formats are available, so confirm options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also support practising skills in the settings where challenges typically happen. Discuss format and scheduling during the initial match and first appointment to find what fits everyday life best.
