About Tatyana

Tatyana Sibthorpe is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 16 years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, addictions, trauma and career concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Russian. International clients are accepted.

Tatyana uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to help people manage difficult thoughts and feelings. She focuses on clear, practical conversations and helps clients build skills they can use between sessions.

Her work includes listening to what matters to each person and discussing ways to change patterns that cause distress. That can mean spotting unhelpful thinking, practising new ways of relating, or building small daily actions that support goals.

Tatyana has particular experience supporting people with grief, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues, as well as longer-term concerns such as bipolar disorder and chronic illness. She also works with topics like parenting strain, communication problems and codependency.

People can expect a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. Practical tools from CBT and DBT are combined with a focus on attachment and values from ACT to address both symptoms and relationships. The first meeting is used to agree goals and a plan for moving forward.

Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small committed steps toward them. It helps people who feel stuck by encouraging flexible responses to difficult thoughts and emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises to reduce distressing symptoms such as anxiety or low mood by testing and changing unhelpful patterns.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relationships shape responses to others. This work can help when relationship patterns, intimacy issues or attachment concerns make social situations hard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, needs and preferences and agree on which methods to try. That decision is made together and can be adjusted as progress is reviewed.

The original profile does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals use online work to offer practical tools, homework and regular review so therapy can fit everyday life.
