Warm welcome to my site.
I'm a clinical health psychologist and hypnotherapist-in-training, offering individual sessions in Budapest and online. In my professional practice, I integrate hypnotherapeutic techniques with principles of health psychology and the psychodynamic approach.
I'm Zsolt Hodovány, a clinical health psychologist and hypnotherapist-in-training.
Psychological work and self-care are important parts of a balanced life. Paying attention to ourselves can help us better understand our difficulties, process emotional blocks, and strengthen our overall well-being. At times, support from an external professional perspective can be valuable in this process – this is where I can offer my assistance.
Psychological research has shown that the relationship between client and therapist is, in itself, a significant healing factor (Bordin, 1979; Norcross & Lambert, 2019).
Throughout our work, I approach my clients with openness, empathy, and understanding, drawing on psychodynamic and health psychology perspectives. I also integrate hypnotherapeutic techniques into the psychological process, which I have learned in the Hungarian Hypnosis Association and through my own self-development work.
In addition to psychological counselling, I also conduct psychological assessments, including assessment interviews, and the Rorschach inkblot-test. Please note that I am not authorized to issue clinical opinions.
I also facilitate self-awareness groups and skills-development workshops, and I welcome inquiries about these services.

In the first sessions we agree together on the framework, goals, and likely duration of our work.
I aim to create a safe and understanding atmosphere where you can feel heard, accepted, and supported.
I believe that gaining a deeper understanding of recurring emotional and relational patterns can create opportunities for new ways of relating, feeling, and responding.
Physical and psychological processes are closely interconnected. I support clients facing chronic illness, stress, pain, and lifestyle changes, drawing on a health psychology perspective to promote well-being and resilience.
Hypnotherapeutic techniques can help deepen awareness of emotions and inner experiences. The hypnotic state may promote relaxation, reduce stress, and support overall well-being.
Counselling offers a safe and supportive space to reflect on the challenges you are facing and the changes you wish to make. Together, we focus on understanding your experiences, drawing on your strengths, and finding ways forward that are aligned with your needs and values.
Health psychology counselling supports adaptation to chronic illness and helps individuals cope with the challenges of pain, stress, and lifestyle changes. Together, we explore coping strategies and personal resources, with the aim of strengthening psychological well-being and quality of life.
Counselling with hypnotherapeutic techniques uses a modified state of consciousness to facilitate access to emotions, inner experiences, and personal resources. The hypnotic state may help reduce stress, release tension, and promote relaxation and a sense of calm. Throughout the process, I tailor the techniques to your goals and your individual needs.
The first sessions consist of clinical assessment and initial interviews. Following these meetings, we will jointly determine the most suitable method and the framework of our work together.
