About Cila

Cila Hintz is an NCPS psychotherapist based in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults experiencing stress, anxiety, panic, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and a range of relationship and intimacy-related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and Hungarian where needed.

Cila focuses on practical ways to manage strong emotions and reduce patterns that cause harm. She talks through coping strategies for panic and anxiety, steps to address substance use and addictive behaviours, and ways to process traumatic events or loss. She also helps people examine patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, and codependent dynamics in relationships.

Her approach draws on several therapeutic methods. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people name their values and take small steps that fit those values. Client-centered methods centre the conversation on the person's own experience and goals.

Cila also uses elements of dialectical behaviour therapy to build emotional regulation and distress-tolerance skills, and hypnotherapy techniques where appropriate. She will discuss which methods might suit a person's situation and together plan how to move forward.

If someone is ready to begin, the common next step is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

How sessions work

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people identify what matters to them and take small, value-led steps even when feelings are difficult. It is often used for anxiety, codependency patterns and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments. It is useful for panic, low mood, sleep problems and breaking repetitive behaviours. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) provides simple skills for managing strong emotions and tolerating distress without making things worse.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try first. That lets sessions adapt over time as progress and challenges become clearer.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also means tools and skills practised in-session can be applied straight away in everyday life. Registered or accredited professionals can explain how a chosen approach will look in a remote session and what practical steps to expect.
