About Dilnia
Dilnia Horton is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has 13 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She works with people who are struggling with relationship problems, family conflict, eating concerns and parenting stress. She speaks English and Kurdish.
Dilnia listens for the practical problems behind strong emotions. Sessions are used to talk through communication patterns, boundary questions and how past experiences affect current relationships. She uses methods that include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding.
In meetings she helps clients identify small, manageable steps. That might look like testing a new way of saying no, trying a short mindfulness practice, or rehearsing a difficult conversation. She aims to keep things direct and focused on what someone wants to change in daily life.
Dilnia also pays attention to issues linked to attachment, abandonment and blended family situations. Body image, codependency and separation after divorce are other areas she addresses. Her practice is suited to people wanting clear, consistent work on relationship and self-esteem issues.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients are not accepted.
How her therapeutic approaches fit online
CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. It is useful for managing worries about relationships, body image and daily routines by setting small, practical experiments.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and how emotions shape interactions. It can help people who feel stuck in repeating cycles with partners or family members to try new ways of connecting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dilnia will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to focus on behaviour changes, emotional patterns or mindfulness practices and review progress as they go.
