Counselling service in Budapest, Hungary.

Welcome!

My name is Attila Szilágyi. I'm a self-awareness mentor and the founder of the Elindulok.hu self-awareness studio, offering counselling and mentoring in Budapest, Hungary, and online. You can have counselling sessions with me in person or online. I also offer walk-and-talk sessions, mindfulness practice and guided imagery (Vision Relax). Guided imagery is not hypnotherapy: I give no suggestions aimed at your behaviour, you stay awake and in control throughout, and we can stop at any time.

Attila Szilágyi, self-awareness mentor
  • pastoral care from 1998, for a few years;
  • after a long career in engineering, self-awareness mentoring practice since 2019;
  • more than 1,000 hours of personal development work;
  • 1 goal: authenticity.

Grow With Me

"Self-love, self-compassion, self-acceptance" - I will help you practise these three key skills during our work together. In my mentoring program, I share with you my knowledge tested in real life and the best practical methods from my own experience.

The more you are interested in your own thoughts and feelings, the better you understand how you work and what - deeply hidden - unconscious motivations are behind your behavior, joys, sorrows, words and actions. As you deal with your difficulties with care, you will gradually learn to listen to your inner voice and follow its signals in order to make decisions in your life that benefit you and do not hurt others.

Step by step, you can find more inner balance, clarity and freedom.

What Can I Help You With?

Guided imagery

Troubled by tough problems?

Take a look at your behavior through the eyes of a neutral observer to spot the flaws in your subconscious logic. Use your creative imagination and intuition in a safe and innovative way to find solutions to your difficulties.

Counselling

About to change your life?

Sometimes all we need is just a pair of listening ears and caring eyes. A person with a clear mind and an open heart filled with compassion toward our emotional troubles which might be familiar from their own life experience.

Walk & Talk

When your soul embraces the rhythm of your footsteps, it gradually releases the internal tension that blocked you to communicate freely. It's a great help when you finally want to talk to someone about the difficulties in your life.

Remote Support

Online Counselling

Meeting online (in video- or audio calls) is just the right solution to keep in touch in case of any intimate long-distance relationships. Get support from anywhere.

Route planning

Terms and privacy – summary

This is a short English summary. The binding versions are the Hungarian General Terms and Conditions and Privacy Notice (both in Hungarian).

What I offer, and what I don't

Self-awareness counselling and mentoring for adults. It is not a health service or psychotherapy, and it does not replace medical, psychiatric or psychotherapeutic care. I do not diagnose and do not prescribe. If I see that another professional could help you better, I will tell you. In a crisis, call the free Hungarian emotional support line 116-123, or 112 in an emergency.

Invoicing and Payment

You can pay in person in cash or by bank card, or by bank transfer or via Revolut. I send an electronic invoice by email; in pairs or groups, everyone can ask for a separate invoice. Package fees are paid in one sum at the start; package sessions can be used within 12 months, a session pass within 6 months.

Modification and Cancellation

You can cancel or reschedule our meeting free of charge at least 48 hours before it. If you cancel within 48 hours or do not come, the session is charged; in case of an unexpected obstacle beyond your control (for example illness or an accident) I act fairly. If I have to cancel, I offer a new time and you pay nothing.

Satisfaction commitment

If after your first session following the introductory session you feel that this method or our work together is not right for you, you do not pay for that session; for packages and session passes, the fee of unused sessions is refunded proportionally. The introductory session itself is not covered: it is there so that we get to know each other and you can decide whether our work together suits you.

Confidentiality

I keep everything you share with me confidential and do not pass it on to anyone. Exceptions are only possible to prevent immediate danger to life, where the law requires it, or with your explicit written consent. I work under regular professional supervision, where I discuss cases without names or recognisable details. In pairs or groups, confidentiality also depends on the participants: please do not pass on what is said in a shared session without the others’ permission.

Your data

I am the data controller (Attila Sándor Szilágyi, sole trader). Call-back requests and bookings are kept for up to 1 year; notes and questionnaire answers for 5 years after our work ends, or deleted earlier at your request; invoices for 8 years, as the law requires. You can ask for access, correction, deletion or a copy of your data at szia@elindulok.hu; I reply within 30 days. You can also complain to the Hungarian data protection authority (NAIH, naih.hu).

Alone Or With Yourself?

Contact

The first and most important step out of trouble might be when you admit that the situation has become too difficult to handle alone and decide to ask for help. It is a sign of strength and courage to turn to someone with greater knowledge and experience and take advantage of their expertise.
