About Dilnia

Dilnia Horton offers calm, practical support for people facing relationship and family stresses. She writes plainly and listens closely so conversations stay focused on what matters now. Many clients come wanting clearer communication, help with parenting pressures, or to address eating and self-esteem concerns.

She uses straightforward tools to help people notice patterns and try different ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps by linking thoughts, feelings and actions so small changes can make daily life easier.

Dilnia has 13 years of experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. Her background includes supporting people through divorce and separation, blended family issues, and adoption and foster care matters.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses concrete exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is often useful for relationship stress, eating concerns and low self-esteem. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and name strong emotions and improve how they relate to others, which can be helpful for communication problems and attachment issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help you choose methods that fit your situation. That collaboration means approaches can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let you have face-to-face conversation from wherever you are. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Chat or messaging can work for short check-ins or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
