About L'hibou
L'hibou Hornung is an ACA counsellor with nine years of professional experience in Australia. She focuses on helping people who struggle with stress, anxiety and mood concerns. She also supports those dealing with trauma, family conflict and issues around self-esteem and confidence.
Her approach is practical and person-centred. Sessions are conversational and paced to the client's needs. She listens for what matters most and tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation.
Hornung often blends mindfulness and acceptance-based strategies with cognitive tools. This combination can help people notice unhelpful thinking, learn calming skills and commit to small changes that match their values. She also uses techniques from dialectical behaviour therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance when needed.
She has additional experience with concerns such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and chronic pain. Panic disorder and panic attacks are listed among her focus areas, and she can help people talk through panic symptoms and coping options.
Hornung values respectful, sensitive and compassionate work. She also practises equine assisted psychotherapy and sees value in connecting with animals and nature as part of healing. To begin, she asks people to set goals and chooses strategies that match those goals.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions. It helps people notice hard thoughts and still move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and offers practical skills to reduce worry and panic. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and grounding during strong emotions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs and preferences. Together they will try tools, see what helps and adapt the plan over time rather than insisting on a single method.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make appointments easier to fit into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when a shorter session is helpful. It also lets people use practices such as guided breathing or thought records at home, and supports consistent use of skills between sessions. Appropriately qualified therapists can help people with panic symptoms and anxiety using these approaches, and will discuss practical arrangements when arranging the first appointment.
